How much social credit score is an article like this worth?
On an American or Chinese salary? The difference is important.
I think he’s converting everything to USD as he never says anything about Chinese Yuan. Also the cost of things seems to align with him converting the currency.
The crazy thing is he talks about the affordability, but he makes over 4x the average/median salary for the city. That would be like making $400k/year in New York City or almost $500k/year in San Fransico. Now maybe that money wouldn’t go as far in the US, but when you’re making that much money any place would seem good.
If he’s paying 1000 for rent, almost certainly American.
Now I’m making closer to $3,500 a month, plus roughly $1,200 a month from my side gigs.
I don’t think I’d want to give up Chinese food.
Is $1000 rent supposed to be low? My mortage is half of that.
I Know ppl in america who have 2k usd rent for 1 bedroom. It’s crazy. If you didnt buy house before covid you are screwed.
It’s half what a studio apartment costs in some places.
Lies
What exactly do you think the lie is? That he’s not living his dream and secretly hates living in China? 1000USD for rent seems high, he must be in the middle of Shanghai or something. I’m in Guangzhou right now btw.

Do you think China pays a lot of white americans to post nice things about China on lemmy? Or just me?
On Lemmy? No. That’s the cheap 50¢ people.
I’m at my brother’s house. His girlfriend lived in China (Tianjin) for 25 years. I showed her this and her only response was, “my ass.”
Don’t worry, she hates America too.
I spent a couple nights in Tianjin last year, coming from SK.
It seemed like a nice enough city, nearly as clean as Beijing or any japanese city. What didn’t she like about it?
She didn’t like the CCP, they liked the city.
