Apartment Tour in China || What can $300 a month get you? 

Thanks for sharing! Yessss the to the door delivery is so nice 😂

China in Deflation According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January 2024 fell by 0.8% year-on-year, a decline much larger than expected. This marks the fourth consecutive month of year-on-year decline and the largest monthly decline since 2009. The Producer Price Index (PPI) also experienced a year-on-year decrease as businesses further lowered factory prices in search of buyers for their products. PPI has seen monthly declines throughout last year (2023). There's a saying in economics that if inflation is likened to a severe cold, then deflation is akin to cancer. This illustrates the severity of deflation. China's economy has entered a deflationary phase, which inflicts far greater damage than inflation. When things were supposed to get more expensive, they are now being discounted. If everything is discounted, who will make purchases? With reduced purchasing, the economy naturally contracts. As the economy contracts, layoffs follow, leading to people losing their incomes. Without income, there's no consumption, leading to a backlog of products, further exacerbating deflation. Thus, a vicious cycle ensues. Over the past six months, housing prices have been declining, car prices are down, and even pork prices have been lingering at low levels. To put it simply, deflation means people hoard money in banks because of fears about future uncertainty, thus refraining from spending. According to data from the People's Bank of China, in 2022, total renminbi deposits increased by 26.26 trillion yuan for the whole year, a year-on-year increase of 6.59 trillion yuan, with household deposits increasing by 17.84 trillion yuan. On July 11, 2023, the central bank released financial statistics for the first half of 2023, reporting that by the end of June, renminbi deposits totaled 278.62 trillion yuan, an 11% increase compared to the previous year. This indicates that people's inclination to save is far greater than their inclination to consume.

@@lizzyinchina Does Taobao still have the free delivery of grocery with a minimum order of RMB88? I used to buy all kinds of heavy items like sauces, cooking oil, rice, etc with free delivery...😅 had only visited the supermarket if I were to buy any fresh items.

@@tlowe9796 淘宝还是有88VIP的。京东VIP更划得来。现在买生鲜蔬菜粮油都用朴朴、叮咚和美团优选什么的

美国赚钱中国花

My son lived in NYC back in 2014 in a tiny unfurnished studio of less than 300 square feet for $1800 per month. He had to pay at least another one month rent to brokers. Don’t know how much the rent would be now for the same studio. His monthly income after tax was a little more than 3k. So after rent, transportation, cellphone, internet, cable, he was pretty much living paycheck to paycheck.

@@edwardyuan8116yeah true, but people in NYC make over $2000 on the average , compare to small city in Yunnan where average salary is just about $300-500/month.

@@wii_0576 幽默

People living there are paid in RMB rather than dollars.

u love china first u need to love communism!

那不可能，河北小县城都不止这个价

@@hyjcxyz 青岛城阳区

The average salary is 4k 😂

​@@MAX-ky2ewwrong

@@MAX-ky2ew The average salary is 8k in 青岛，

Yes! China has actual concentration camps and forced labor for Muslim minorities and boasts the highest capital punishment of any country in the world! And scores in the lowest percentile for human rights! And low rent! What a great place to live!

Would never live in China !!!!!

昆明属于省会城市了，在县城或者三四线城市这样的房子月租金也就1000出头。 我在河北一个县城，比这个大，装修比这个好，一个月833人民币（一年一万，水电费一个月加一起50左右）

Maybe even more, depending on the area.

1, Lizzy is living in Kunming, Yunnan Province. And I believe she is not living in a very center area. The rent is much lower there than Pudong, Shanghai. 2, I think I know which compound you had lived in.😁 It costed about RMB 6000~7000 to rent a 3 bedroom apartment there in 2010. I guess the USD 800 you had paid in 2003 was a little bit higher than the normal market level because you are a foreigner or the apartment is bigger or had better condition than others.

云南省的价格和北京上海广州深圳杭州等不能比的。

上海是中国最发达也是物价最贵的城市之一，而Lizzy 居住的云南省属于风景如画气候宜人的相对落后省份，物价不能比的

@@guoweixu-fu6kj 我理解你，谢谢。

Rents in Shanghai and the immediate area have increased since 2003, it would be difficult to find that price these days, that's why I moved to a city 38 minutes away by high speed train and pay 2200 rmb a month for 3 beds and 2 baths.

在我的印象中 北美的房子大多都是木头结构的，隔音有点差。

Thats why we love communism

Thank you! 🤗

The name of the city: Kunming, Climate: like spring all year round

Yessss I have 😁 jiuxiang cave I havent been to

I live in the U.S. and we DO take off our shoes in the house!😊

@@eileenwarzynski6990 I’ve met more a,Erica’s that keep them on there than anywhere else in the world, so…

She is moving to China in July 😁😁😁

@@lizzyinchina Hope to see her in China.

@@lizzyinchina is she retired? If so, she can live like a queen with her pension. Does she have problem with Chinese food? She might have problem finding western food in China.

Big kitchen is too waste especially when you have countless food counters and restaurants around you.

Depends on which city,tier 1 cities like Shanghai, Beijing will be quite tight

No matter wherever her it cost 💲 2000 average rent 2 BD Apt

Why?

@@lizzyinchina It's nothing to do with the people or their culture. It's more to do with Government policies there.

Perhaps Westerners should move to China when they are retired. Rent is cheap, food is cheap, etc. They can live like a king with their pension. On the other hand, China can rent out all their empty condos. Win-win situation.

@@peterbanh1364 yes, China is pretty secure and safe for crime like drugs, assault etc...and china has way more properties built that the current 4x times of the current population can ever own, also stores everywhere and infrastructure transit everything is convenient , so seems it will works as win-win.

english teacher is good job for foreigner in china

You don't need to pay anything to sleep on the street in California.

Clothes are also not in the closet. How clean your city is!

昆明号称春城，一年四季如春，灰尘不多。北方城市灰尘多。

昆明啊...

她在昆明，有名的春城，灰尘很少

This city is still considered one of the big cities in China

What? Lol

Democracy and freedom?🤣🤣🤣🤣I assume you are being sarcastic.😂😂😂 Certainly not the freedom to protest.

Democracy and freedom??!! What a joke!! Tell that to student protesters who get their skulls crushed, because they spoke up about ANOTHER countries crimes against humanity! What an incredibly ridiculous and ignorant comment.

Seems it is in Kunming,the capital city of Yunnan province,if you come to Nanchang,the capital city of Jiangxi province

忙著找尋西方面孔來感動自己的中國人，可悲啊，性商體商神經索下半截進化失敗了，對西方面孔有種強烈的外表肌肉生殖器膜拜情結。中國是個偉大的文明，可惜就是不尊重生物界智商進化階梯金字塔結構標準，不維護種群分化優勝劣汰程序性法則，什麼進化失敗的種群，只要“會做人”就當人，結果不僅導致智商情商神經索上半截進化失敗的種群細菌般繁殖，也導致性商體商神經索下半截進化失敗的種群細菌般繁殖。

Thank you!! 😊

Oh wow! I will stay in China thank you 😂😂

@aldridge9886 即便是这样，每一个中国人或多或少都有自己的房子，只是因为去别的城市工作需要租房住，无论如何都不会因为负担不起房产税和房租而流落街头。

​@@aldridge9886 昆明平均工资每月7700元。上海平均工资每月17500元。3000至4000人民币是几乎是所有中国城市最低的工资而不是平均工资。现在的厂妹都不值这个工资，上海小饭店刷盘子招工人都4500起步，人均工资和人均收入你分的清？人均收入是包含14亿人的。人均工资只包含工作人口。

@@aldridge9886 像这样2200，两个人合租也还算合适

@@aldridge9886 我今天下午在厦门打了个网约车，跟司机聊天得知他自己一个人租一台车，扣除每个月3000多的月租，每个月平均净赚10000左右，如果选择里程较短的车型，月租只要1800到2000出头，那应该可以赚得更多，但中间要充电，他嫌麻烦，而现在不管是网约车还是出租车公司都还很缺司机。说实话，现在国内如果月收入才3000~4000的人，只能说他们可能更满足比较安逸的生活，但凡稍微肯干一点，在大多数地方每月要收入翻倍并不难。

在有的城市 甚至只需要150-200美元

@@007-c2t 这样的公寓很多县城可能仅仅需要100美元，中国太大了，便宜的地方很多，但收入相对也低

in Penang, Malaysia new condominum costs more than US1,000 .average of RM5,000 to RM8,000 (USD2K))​@@guoweixu-fu6kj

Are the locks there too so when you piss off local cops they can beat you and keep you in your apartment? How about pets? I saw all those cats and dogs tossed from their owners bagged and turned to dinner... Dog is a rare thing cause people eat them. Christians consider it a sin ... How do they treat Christians? The state religion is not likely to be happy if you are Christian,or Muslim... 😢😢

​@@guoweixu-fu6kjincome by a government payroll on a phone... In China everything belongs to greater China... No humanity or faith except fist shaking to a ideology. It's scary and they're sending military aged men to USA illegally... Why was all that child porn on hunters laptop? Why was CCP servers spamming everyone with video uploads with Hunter doing those things to little Chinese girls.🤢🤢🤢 I'm offended, why is China allowing children to be used that way if they're superior to USA?

Thank you! 😃 glad you enjoyed the tour

Apartment prices in China are amazing.

If China is the best, why are thousands of Chinese people coming into the states every day ?

Yep! Tip toe through the apartment because someone can hear you fart.... 😐 I don't want to shake or bake, and Tofu building isn't safe... Look how many tall buildings either caught fire and they lied about death toll, or they blew up because the real estate was a Ponzi scheme 😂🤣😂 Aunties dancing in front of burning buildings 🔥🔥🔥 Tofu isn't for walls and floors 😂

Only safe if you stay on the good side of the ruling party. Then again Canada were i live is getting to be more and more like China. With are little Turd of a dictator.

中国食品商品消费量美国2到4倍，真实经济规模美国2倍， 中国人均商品服务消费量和日韩差不多，二三倍的商品服务价格在循环，包括汽车，蔬菜水果人均消费量是日本韩国2到4倍，日韩太贵了，别的人均消费量差不多

*In sharp contrast*. Now show us the sharp contrast of average salaries in China compared to US.

@@FUZASHIII very hard to measure

@@FUZASHIII that means absolutely F all , when over 150 million Americans are struggling to feed themselves

@@Auzzzie82 every second American struggling to feed themselves? Are you talking about the obese ones ? 💀

@@FUZASHIII- there is little to no manufacturing in the US. Jobs went to China. For those who don’t have a technical job, most work in the service industry. With the cost of living in the US people are definitely struggling. Inflation is at a peak as well. Fuel for vehicles in the Midwest is on average $3.50-4.00/per gallon. Groceries are high, interest rates for homes are high. So it’s not just obese people. There are many struggling.
