    Oh yeah China is great when you’re a rich person. Becasue paying $1000 rent and $100 groceries makes you upper class over there.
    People tend to forget that China sucks.

      Couldn’t the same be said of the west, except that rent and food are 3-4 times those amounts?

      Another thing people don’t mention is their job. Most of the time they’re working remote so they’re still benefitting from their American pay. I had an acquaintance who lived in China for a year because he wanted to find himself or something. He said most of the apartments look like concrete boxes and their is barely any hot water.
