”Raise it” vs. ”Lower it”... North Korea and Russia in a psychological battle over air conditioning temperature?

It has been reported that a war of nerves ensued between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over the temperature of the meeting room in Beijing, China.
According to Yonhap News on the 4th, the Russian daily Kommersant reported that on the 3rd (local time), just before the summit between President Putin and Chairman Kim began, there was a clash between the entourages of both countries.
