So is 10 RMB, worth the equilivent of $10 USD to someone in China? I’m very interested in the salary of local people in China, as 1000 RMB per month does not sound alot.

My retirement will be 14,000 RMB each month. In Beihai you can live a good life on 8,000 RMB as my brother in-law does now. He owns a brand new car, he paid cash as most do in China. Bought a new apartment and lives great on 8,000 RMB. I will live great on my 14,000 RMB for that is like making 150,000 USD. If you live in the big cities like Shanghi etc you would be middle class on 14,000 RMB, but in a place like Behia, where food is much cheaper, housing much cheaper you can live as I do and will when I retire on 14,000 RMB per month. In the USA on my retirement I would be able to do NOTHING but eat at home and sleep. But I do not want you all to beieve me for I am the lucky one. Have great friends in China and I can afford anything I want living there.

I can't imagine what I would do with 15,000 RMB a month! I have a hard time spending the 4,000 I get as salary each month: I've taken three week-long trips within China, several weekend trips to neighboring provinces, and a month-long excursion to SE Asia during the Spring Festival holiday. I've also sent about $1000 back to the states to pay for the charges on my US credit card. Granted, my housing and utilities are paid for by the school, and there aren't as many Western-style temptations as there are in Beijing or Shanghai, but I by no means live like a pauper.

You can see that cost of services are very cheap in China, luxury items are usually more expensive than in the States. Our website HuMuch.com compares prices of the same thing across the world.

I live in Shenzhen (3rd highest paid city in China) where the average college graduate makes over 4k/month and average construction worker makes 1200. That being said, it's still not a lot of money.

I leave Canada for Asia in August and I'm tempted to spend a few months in southern China. This is a great background on apt costs etc. I was in China for a couple weeks before the 2008 Olympics and fell in love with it. Wonderful post.
