The ‘middle proletariat’, which can be said to be in the middle, earns approximately 400,000 to 680,000 won.
The bottom 21% earn between 100,000 and 280,000 won.
When talking about China’s income level, people get angry and say, “We, China, are not at that level.” College graduates in first- and second-tier cities earn a starting salary of 1.2 million won, and the average earns 1.5 million won. People who make comments such as “” always pop up. I don’t know if you are Chinese or Korean, but I am showing you statistics compiled directly by the Communist Party so that you can see the reality.
The big mistake these people make is that most of the cities they travel around are either first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen, or second-tier cities just below them. They live the best in an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, 96 times the size of Korea, and there are only a few areas where all of China’s wealth is concentrated. It’s absurd whenever I hear people say that the wages here are so high and wages can’t be that low, or that my Chinese friends earn more than that. The reality is, that statistical table is reality.
Not everyone goes to a good university like your friends and goes to work for a large company or a mid-sized company. Living at the level of a Korean foreigner and meeting people similar to yours while traveling around big cities is not the standard in China.
If I just said that I usually earn 500,000 to 700,000 won in China, I would say it fairly well. Not everyone works as a full-time employee at a large or mid-sized company. Moreover, China has been in a state of deflation since the coronavirus, especially since the real estate collapse due to the crisis. It is stagnant before 2020. Some areas are rather remote.
P.S. fun fact
Because the person who just provoked me about Chinese wages, I don’t know if he’s Chinese or Korean, got ripped off with statistics.
In the comments of another post, they just cursed me and called me a hateful extreme right-winger, and then they blinded me. That’s roughly what I am.
Why does politics come up here?
And if you are honest, why do you have blinds?
