    those data are somewhat accurate in beijing/shanghai/shenzhen, but in no way does it reflects average salary in the whole country. even in tier1 cities 10k average is only achieveable for white collar working class people. a typical blue colloar worker earn around 4k by contrast. people from tier 2/3/4 cities earn way less.

      The whole country isn’t urbanized and proletarianized, yet. If you go far enough into the Eastern rural districts, you’re not going to find malls full of fast food restaurants much less salary workers looking to pinch their renminbi.
