Keep in mind, Chinese salaries are significantly lower than US ones. In these kinds of price comparisons, Chinese goods are often cheaper, but not by as drastic a margin as perceived.
it seems like wages are usually 1/3 to 1/2 of those of US workers and prices are 1/4 to 1/5 of US prices. So much cheaper, but definitely not as much as looking at the price alone.
So…say I sell my house for $100k can I love in china on a modest budget for 10-15 years? Will they even let me as a foriegner? I’m gay I promise there will be no multiplying.
China is notoriously rigid on immigration. Only 10,000 permanent residencies are issued per year (the US issues around a million) and the only way a normal person without close family ties can get in is through making a series of large investments, or holding a high ranking position in a Chinese company for 3 years. So probably not.
