      I would kill for the wage increases the average Chinese person has seen over the last decade.

        Then move to China :) You can become an average Chinese person tomorrow, see how that turns out for you.

          You wish, it is not easy moving to China, otherwise I would have done it already. T.T

          Immigrants to China can’t become citizens FYI. Dumb argument.

          Average white guy in a Chinese city lives the life.

          The real problem is in some of the poorer rural areas and low-tier cities.

        You start from a smaller baseline increases are easier. The Chinese economy has very serious problems.
