You have not mentioned health care cost. I see one vlog by American living in China. He did MRI scan which cost him US$30. He said in US this could cost him US$2000.
It depends. If an American purchased health insurance, a large part of the medication cost would be covered, and if s/he has an employer, the employer would again pay a large part of the insurance. It is true even for Chinese students enrolling in PhD programs in US universities. But for those Americans who are not employed or do not have insurance, that would be another story.
@@hengzhou4566bro, the employer will only cover the employee’s health insurance, but what about his family? I need to pay over $1000 USD a month for my whole family’s insurance. It’s about 10,000 RMB😂 And with that amount of money I believe you can do a surgery without any insurance in China.
And everything is just so convenient here! Order food, arrives in 20 mins, order clothes, arrives the next day. Not to mention the reliability and price of the metro! And Didi 😍

The Chinese government strictly controls most of the food prices, so it is very, very cheap. Therefore, there are very few beggars in China, because it is too cheap.🇨🇳
The grass isnt that green anymore in the West and especially in the USA. Many 2nd or 3rd gen chinese Americans are trying to get out and live in the East like South east Asia or find an expat teaching job in China. I know this from first hand experience.
Not just variety. In many cases, the food is healthy because they are prepared from fresh ingredients on the premises without preservatives such as nitrites, sulphites, chlorides, E numbers, etc. In the west, the meat often contains these concoctions in order to preserve it from the factory to the outlet.
@@Jayjay-2007 But the average salary can never keep up with inflation! Give you an example: today an American average income is around 58,000 USD annually. In 1940, the average income was about 4800 USD, but after the inflation adjustment, it's equivalent to 83000 USD today's value, and annual expenditure for an American is somewhere around 76000 USD. Are average people in the US making more or less? No wonder people are suffering from the cost of living, more debt accumulated on credit card bills and loans, low saving rate and more than half of the population do not even have 1000USD in their bank account. That's why when you talk about GDP's economy in terms of purchasing power, China is actually on top of the U.S.
@@admiralwei 1 The comment was about Aus, not US 2 It has nothing to do with infliation when you compare between countries right now. Its not a comparison of history of one country. Yes, inflation exists and it can be different. But its stupid to say that “wow, so cheap and in aus it is expensive when there is a 10 times salary difference” 3 Try to compare average salary and how much of a certain product a person can buy on this ave salary. E g average salary in China is 3000 yuan (based on official info) So do you want to compare based on products? For instance how much meat you can buy on ave salary in US and China?
@@admiralwei And… I havent talked about GDP. GDP of China is on top of US? Whe you compare LIFE OF PEOPLE you shoud compare GDP per capita. What is GPD of China? 12 000 usd. US? 45 000. Where is your “on top”?
@Jayjay-2007 I said very clear, GDP PPP is top of US, which is different than nominal GDP. GDP PPP adjusts the economic output by taking into account differences in the cost of living and purchasing power. Normal GDP measures the economic output by using market prices. I wonder if you know the differences?
Welcome to China. Been living in lovely Zhuhai for the last 20 years. Honestly, I am afraid to go back to the 'States. I hear the prices are just dreadful. $4 for a Whopper meal! How can people live?
@@beeroseinchina Thanks for that. I love, love it here. I have a home in Shenzhen, zhongshan and zhuhai, but my FAVORITE place is Zhuahi. It's awesome. Especially Jida. The flowers, the tropical beaches, and the low key relaxed people. Outstanding!
Try compare rent, electricity, heating, water and gas, internet, education, medical care next time. I know how much it cost in Germany and southern China. In gerneral I think China is more reasonable on cost of living.
Sharing tables is sort of common depending on the dining or fast food place you visit? its not just limited to China...... Hong Kong DaiPai stalls, its just like a service stop for cabbies etc or for people just wanting a seat and table to eat and youve got the chopsticks in the centre of the table Heck ive shared tables in London China Town! Heck Harrison Ford sits down in a shared stall in Blade Runner..... i dont understand why its perceived to be weird when its been going on for 1000s of yrs lol
That meaty soup with egg and fresh veggies for $2.70 would be marketed as "Foodie" fare in the States and go for eighteen bucks, and there'd be hipsters and yuppies lined up around the block. It's not about China's cities being lower-cost; tasty food is also cheap in Singapore, the most expensive city in the world.
I also spend 11$ per day in France. 1$ for my breakfast : instant coffee in hot water + a toast 5$ for commuting (round trip) 5$ for my lunch that i prepared the day before 0$ for dinner, because i don't I am a very economical person in my life, lol. Just for comparison, my colleagues spend around 20$ for lunch. For the rest I don't know. LOL
@shawnsmith524 the people in the first tier cities...are pretty well paid....A girl looking for a boyfriend expectation is soneone making 20,000 remibi per month....but basis cost of living mau only be around 5,000..When you compare PPP...China is way better ......oh yes....in some rural places...USD 3.5 is too much to spend...these people live off the land...they hardly needed money😅😊
it really depends. street food can be dodgy in China because they don't have the proper licenses to serve food. but legit places with proper licenses are comparable to the states and even cheaper!
You spent 12.10 USD for 1 day that is really high price for over 800+ million people in china would have work a full day or even 2 full days to spend what you did Most workers' base salary is 15 Yuan per day ($1.80), with an increase to 24 Yuan per day ($2.90) with seniority. However, the minimum wage standard stipulated by the local government is 37.284 Yuan per day ($4.73). Most workers in the factory receive piece-rate wages.
Your figures are wrong. In most areas, the wage for a waiter/waitress is around 5000 RMB each month. The lower wages are the dish-washer and street-cleaners (around 4000 RMB). The food delivery persons can earn up to 10000 RMB if they work hard. If you don't believe, go to China and take a look at the recruitment posters in front of the restaurants.
lol 15 yuan per day, that's like 1995. Much less chinese ppl are making minimum wage than western citizens, and if they were, those jobs ususally provide a place to live so nobody is homeless. I paid my staff (waiters) 3k a month in wuhan in 2015, now it's likely 4k minimum, 5k for beijing.
Please pay attention to the masks that passers-by are wearing. Before the COVID-19 epidemic, people in China rarely wore masks. 请注意路人正带的口罩，在新冠疫情前，中国人是很少带口罩的
Regular restaurants or shopping mall stalls have licenses from the health department and are regularly inspected. Nowadays, there are basically no unregulated roadside stalls in most cities. The problem you mentioned maybe existed 20 years ago, but now there is no need to worry about it.
These are two rumors. Some people in southern China will eat voles, but those are farmed voles, but now they have been banned by the China municipal government. Perhaps voles can be eaten in rural restaurants, and rats are not eaten. The gutter oil was a problem that China encountered around 2000. Now the food oil in China is very cheap. If you have the opportunity, you can find the supermarket price in China on youtube. The price of food oil is so low that the price of cooking gutter oil is higher.

Here is the thing about the fast food industry in the US. McDonald's , Burger King, Wendy's relies on the low income family. The prices of these fast food chains is now out of the reach for the low income families. Just the other week for breakfast, I order the egg mac muffin , a small coffee, a small OJ, PRICE IS $ 11.00 and some change. ( New Jersey ). US. Dollars exchange rates to China $ over 80.00 Chinese yuan. America is destroying itself. I envy you guys.
High housing price is a big problem, but Beijing is one of the prosperity cities in China. So when the 1.4 billion wealthy people want to immigrate there, high housing prices are very reasonable, and this may be the case in every country. Therefore, young people can rent a house instead of buying a house like other countries. They can choose to share a house or rent in the suburbs, and the expenses will be very reasonable.
housing can be expensive depending on where you live, but if you live in the outer rings, or if you share an apartment with people, the price is very very fair to be honest
China is one of the poorest countries in the world, and its per capita GDP is lower than that of the Philippines and India. The gap between rich and poor in China is very large. China's rural areas look like African rural areas.
If cow dung can also be calculated into GDP like India does, then China's GDP may be three times or even more than it is now. Each country counts GDP differently. If you are interested, you can study it. Even the GDP of the United States has a lot of water.
Just search 'rural china', there are many videos about it. There will certainly be a development gap between urban and rural areas in all countries, but what you told was just a lie.
