@@Nhan_Nap_Rom_Xiaomi Because they are capitalists. Big companies buy up small rival companies and shut them down so they can monopolize the market and set prices as they please. If the small company refuses to sell, the large company will buy the company that supplies the small company and cut off the supply. Capitalists are blood-sucking leeches!
Here in Bulgaria, where we ahve European food pricing now [sadly] it will buy me 1.5 days hot fresh made food or 3 days of ingredients if I cooked myself.

President Xi Jinping study farming in the US living with farmers to see how things were done before he became president. At that time agriculture was a weakness of China so he took what he learned and applied it to his country and made further improvements. Now food is affordable for everyone in the country.
How exactly has farming been weak in China? For 4,000 years China has been a nation of farmers. By the time the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, virtually all arable land was under cultivation; irrigation and drainage systems constructed centuries earlier and intensive farming practices already produced relatively high yields. Let's stop making things up.
Your literally giving credit to a 200 year old country when a 8000+ years old country has been feeding itself even before the United States became a thing. Good grief. Stop lying. 😢
Most of Americans did anyways. The clown won the popular vote. His voters deserve everything that is coming. Higher prices for everything and tax cuts for the rich.
The cucumber price of USD$6.50 is $8.80 in Singapore. It's still considered a tight budget but enough for me to cook these: - braised cabbage with vermicelli - ten eggs omellete - steam minced meat Enough for lunch + dinner for two to three people.
Low income Chinese families seldom buys from supermarkets. They buy from street markets. All local small business vendors, not from large corporations.
But imagine if this is considered middle class or upper class living in China and it’s still cheaper than lower class in the US. That’s what is blowing the minds of Americans.
@ I think american diets are very different. Chinese people dont buy soft drinks or eat a lot of fast food and other junk. And the foods not full of corn syrup like it is in the US because the US government subsidises Farmers in lots of silly ways. In China ordinary people tend to eat an enormous amount of vegetables, most of which is just not palatable to western tastes. My (mainland chinese) wife eats a large bucket of what looks like grass every day. She doesnt tend to eat stuff (other than ginger) thats not green.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 That is not considered upper class . Those convenient community shopping mall would typically attract young people without enough time to shop . PS" China have alternative ONLINE shopping shall which would deliver groceries to your compound with almost half of price of this kind of community shopping mall . Too many choice for chinese , We typically feel no stress for groceries ,especially on price .
Its quite a shock how US food prices have shot up, it's been 8 years since I was last in the US prior to that I would go there at least once a year and even stayed a whole month in the bay area the quantity and price of food back then was large and cheap. Prices in the UK have crept up post Brexit a lot of/most of our fresh fruit and vegetables are imported from Spain, the Netherlands and Africa even so they are not the silly US prices shown in this video, the competition introduced by the German discount chains ALDI and LIDL's expansion in the UK seems to have held fresh food prices down for now. Dining out is a different story. For reference a cucumber is £0.89 so 3 cucumbers works out to $3.35 US, free range eggs are £2.70 for medium size and £3.15 for large size a dozen (£0.22 or £0.26 each), battery farmed eggs are £0.14 each. The price of American eggs is even more than the price of specialty (Free Range Bluebell Araucana) or organic eggs in the UK!
not even US, every western countries such as Canada has extreme high cost of food prices & cost of livings, due to many factors - exorbitant taxes/tariffs, high labor cost, high shipping costs, high energy cost & a few oligopolies corporates control the market share.
Prices in USA restaurants have doubled when compared to pre pandemic. Due to tariffs, inflation, corporate greed, and increase in taxes. That is why America’s middle class has continued to shrink
One thing I know about China is that the government "normalizes" most food prices. Some by law and some by stock to balance supply and demand. I know this is against Western's "free market" practices that work on textbooks.
Oh yeah sure they did. All of those angelic public servants we get to vote for. We never get crooks who sell us down the river - no matter which "side" you vote for.
Major corporations control the politicians the American people can vote for. From a dump of garbage, you can only select the least rotten. This is what the "capitalist democracy" really looks like.

No. Its the other way around. Because US currency is needed for international trade the US$ is kept strong and stable so your input imports are cheaper. Unless you put tariffs on them ha ha. Its not like your labour costs on your agricultural products are high given that a lot of your agricultural workers are exploited labour.
@user-lv5bt3nt3r Hey. The excessive printing of the US currency is what is causing inflation in the USA. And it is spreading across the world like a cancer. And with the bailout 800 billion that they did in 2008 to the very banks and bankers that caused the financial crisis, it was inevitable for the world to pull away from the USD and thus we now have options with BRICS+

North china is a wheat and dairy region and there are a fair few fatties up there, as there are across china. But the main reason people arent fat in china is because china has NEVER been able to produce enough food for its people and is doomed to be a net food importer forever (which is also why the south is a rice crop region - rice is the highest calorie yielding crop per acre and if a country is a rice growing country you know it has a food supply problem). Most chinese are not overweight simply becuase they dont have the money to spare to get overweight. Plus the traditional diet doesnt include american style junk foods.

Thats all good and fine, but what are wages like in China compared to US?
Low but certainly able to cover food and 86% home ownership in the country
