If it works in china, it must also work in india

If something works in one place, it must also work in the other. That is, it assumes transferability. For example, if mcdonalds is popular in usa it must also be as popular in the philippines

Uncomfortable Ideas: Facts don't care about feelings. Science isn't concerned about sensibilities. And reality couldn't care less about rage.

This is a book about uncomfortable ideas—the reasons we avoid them, the reasons we shouldn’t, and discussion of dozens of examples that might infuriate you, offend you, or at least make you uncomfortable.

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

What is "it"? Helium in balloons?

It all depends on the "it." If "it" were gravity, the statement would be factually correct. If "it" were something like local cell service, then it would be factually incorrect. No fallacies here, just matters of fact.
