  • ✈️ Is traveling in China as affordable as people say?
    Join us as a family of three for a full day in the tropical ☀️ paradise of Sanya in Hainan Province 🏝️, where we reveal exactly how much we spend!
    From double breakfasts to swimming at our hotel’s pool 🏊‍♀️, lunch with beachside pizza 🍕, and snacking in the neighborhood, to a night of street food adventures at the bustling night market-EVERY cost is broken down!
    💰 How much do you think it costs to enjoy all this in one day? We’ll share the total at the end and ask: is China cheap, or were we ripped off? 💵

      The China Municipal Government is committed to the policy of benefiting the people, transferring water from the South to the North and spreading electricity from the west to the east. The vegetable basket project is all about exchanging government infrastructure for the interests of the people, and northerners can eat cheap southern food. If the price is too high, countries will open up government reserves to adjust and look for new materials. The government of China really loves its people. I'm glad I'm from China.😊

    The costs of everything in the US is going through the roof! Seems like in just 15 years everything has doubled or even worse! Every time I watched a video of tourists buying food and other stuff in China I think the costs of everything in China is like 12-14 times cheaper than the US! Which means the low wages that people in the US think the Chinese people are making are actually higher than the wages in the US because people could buy so much more with their “low wages” than the Americans with their “ high wages!”

      In China you can make things as cheap as you want. For example you can get $1 dumplings but you could also get fancy 5 star dumplings from a luxury restaurant for $10. And I noticed in the Netherlands everything just has 1 price, there is no ‘I can get it cheaper over there’. Probably same goes for the US?

      As a superpower, the United States has not used taxpayers' money for people's livelihood. On the contrary, taxpayers' money will be used to be the world's police, and corruption is rampant, and even a large infrastructure can't be done. American prices can't stop there,It's like the Ming Dynasty in China and the dusk of the empire.😂

      The huge difference comes only when dealing with the currency exchange rate, making China's average wage much lower than that in the West, but when looking at how much wage an average worker in China earns per month and can buy with that amount of money in China then makes the average wage in China is higher than in the West.
      For example, the common minimum monthly wage is at least 2500 RMB per month in many low income parts of China, with that amount a person is able to afford to rent an apartment, utilities (electric, water, mobile phone service), eat 2 restaurant meals, grocery and public transportation, and still have money left for saving, but this is impossible for the minimum wage earners in the West due to high costs of living, they can't afford to pay rent and eat 2 restaurant meals per day, not even one restaurant meals per week!
      China is a better environment for low wage earners because it has more and better choices for them, they can afford and enjoy things that low wage earners in the West can't.
