In this video, I discuss the real income level of people in China, from an unbiased Chinese perspective. I discuss income level of corporate jobs, fresh grad jobs as well as average disposable income per person with the support of data.
I also make a video of cost of living in Guangzhou, China. So you can compare the income vs cost. • How much it cost to li...

​@elomhycykushiatorwillson standard is different from country to country. Chinese government doesn't like "median", most of its published statistics only use average. Common understanding is that median value would make the government look bad, so it uses the average value to cover up the widening gap between the rich and poor.

Cinthia, just closing the loop on my comment from your first video. First, know that your English is great. You’d have no problems in the US though if you know Spanish that would be really cool and useful too. Second, here is some unsolicited advice, decide on a mission statement for your channel. I say this because after watching your videos I am uncertain of who your target audience is or how you want your channel to grow ( if at all). I am a bit at a loss as to whom I’d share your channel with or to whom I’d recommend your channel to. Foodies? People looking for personal improvement? Travelers? All the above? Finally, more unsolicited advice. Have fun and don’t worry about unfounded criticism. You are doing good stuff, so keep it up as long as your heart is in it.

@@Cinthia_Lin It maybe a blessing that you do not have a "target audience" yet. Once you tailored your reporting to this "target audience", the viewership grow fast but you may become beholding to them, which is a receipt for bias and sensationalism - the great example being English social media proponents of "China Collapses" vs "China Supreme". The domestic social media personals in your report is another example, who did cultivate huge bases, but they brought more nothingness to their audience than knowledge of real value.

I used to believe many people in Hong Kong were rich. As I got older, I realise, there are 2 types of people. (1) People who live rich (2) People who are really rich. The Elaboration: Many people in Hong Kong were on credit terms, while they might live in 宝马山, 跑马地 area, many of them could be in serious debt. However, their lifestyle maintained as such so in the eyes of many people, they are the "rich" people. However, things could come crashing down once their "cash flow" is no longer sustainable. That is why we sometimes hear people killing themselves or jumping off a building - this is a common practice in Hong Kong where all of a sudden "rich people" kill themselves becoz the snowball effect. In the USA, people "live happily" and "with money" all the time, while their networth is actually negative. In China, many "poor people" actually have savings of over 100k - 200k RMB (say US$20k) of family savings as a basic practice. You will be very surprised how much cash some of these "poor old lonely" old ladies in rural area could have stored 100k RMB in cash within a tin box. Chinese people just love to save money, while only spending the "overflow" of the cash. If there is no "overflows", they say they have no money. I still see a lot of the older generation of people storing cash inside a bloody jar somewhere in the kitchen. I think people overlook this.

A lot of French people earn, taxes paid, less than 900 euros per month (euro or dollars are the same), in China there are many people who earn 700 or 800 euros (or dollars) per month. In other words, since 2023, the prices of products Chinese are less competitive, moreover, Europe now taxes a good 20% on all Chinese products entering Europe. European manufacturers tell how they have been mistreated by China in terms of taxation,(1980/2020) many now refuse to opened factories in China, this is the situation in 2023 from the point of view of a Frenchman.

One thing you touched upon but did not dig too deep into, is the fact that a very large number of Chinese people (I want to say more than 50%) are very much into pretending to be super rich, or pretending to be hanging out with people that are filthy rich (often starting a statement with "我朋友“,“我发小”, or “我同学”, to be followed by some major statement related to wealth). Girls in Shanghai consider drivers of BMWs "poor people", net worth of 50m (USD7m) is often touted as the threshold for "middle class". Everybody's cousin or uncle appears to have a Rolls Royce or at least a G wagon. Once a dude who made over USD7m by flipping houses in Shenzhen posted on a public forum, claiming to be a useless loser (no, he is not talking about not being able to resolve pollution or war. He was complaining about not being rich). The sad part was, many people feel the same way. In another example, a guy who owned a Nissan GTR (which costs over US$200K in China) was repeated passed and ridiculed by girls for having a shitty car. This results in extremely sad -- 99.9% of Chinese people consider themselves absolute losers and feel miserable. Even if you feel content with what you have, people around you will keep reminding you that you are a loser. It's f'ed up.

It's a downward spiral once a lot of folks hit a certain age. Based on a quick google search and some quick maths, 90% of Chinese folks own a home. That averages out to like 600~700 dollars in assets. Most friends I have here that make good money, will never be able to afford a home in China and will have to eventually leave. So no I don't really think $1k a month will ever be enough. I make around 9 times more than that in Shanghai and I know I'll never be able to afford a retirement in this country without my folks buying me an asset worth at least $600k in cash full since we aren't chinese.

I’ve been trying to watch various channels to try to make comprehensive understanding of the world. I’ve made many videos teaching Chinese language vividly and in a funny way. I hope you can recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese. I hope more people can learn Chinese to get comprehensive firsthand information about China.

I have many friends and family in China so they tell me the truth as the job market is terrible nowadays so many are struggling. The income is what it is because the cost of living is way lower in the USA especially nobody has to pay Property tax in China so that helps also most do not pay any income tax while Americans pay 20-40%. But in China there is way much lower in crime as criminals get punished to the extreme which is great for those who are not criminals while there is about 10% of the US population who are criminals which is scary. So it is what it is

Crime in China is just not reported upon by the (CCP-controlled) media. China spends more on police, domestic security than the ¥2.0T it spends annually on its military. There is a reason why Chinese residences almost always have iron gates on their windows, like you see in high crime areas throughout the world.

It's better than Indonesia, that a fresh graduate just earn $167/month salary. With a very expensive cost of living. With an average house price at the rural area among $15-20.000?

Best to also discuss what you can buy with such income. How much to travel to a white beach with 4 or 5-star resort accommodation. How much for groceries, rent etc. Also, it does not matter if you have high income if you can't enjoy it. Bad roads is one example, pot holes? No bridge across big mountains?

Hi there, thanks for the advice. I did another video on cost of living in a tier-1 city in China. Feel free to check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wLXmiln-10Q.htmlsi=U_PVvZZW1HVz_6mi. It would be much cheaper to live in smaller cities in China 🙂

I am more interested not so much of how much / high the salary, rather pay vs cost of living - buying general items like food and daily necessities. In Western countries even if you earn $75K after tax, it is still so hard to live especially when inflation is so high now.

I have lived in both China and Europe for many years. According to my cognition, the current average salary level of Chinese people is about 3,000~5000 Yuan/month. Combined with the purchasing power of the local currency, it is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 1000-1500 euros in Europe (The prices in Europe 10 years ago, I don't know what the current prices are in Europe). At the same time, if you buy a house, it is more expensive in China, and if you hire labor, it is cheaper in China. I think if we Chinese try to buy a house or raise many children, the life will become very hard. Because housing prices and education costs are so high. But if you just work for your single daily life, you can live comfortably. Because the crime rate in our society is very low, the infrastructure is quite good, and many industrial products are fully competitive and the prices are not high.

China is the first largest economy, 25% larger than of the USA by purchasing parity, not the second one. The only metric which makes China second is the GDP in nominal prices but different economies cannot be compared by GDP in nominal prices because of the different prices, obviously. Even the same economy cannot be compared to itself year-to-year by the GDP in nominal prices because of... the different prices, obviously.
