      in no way does it reflects average salary in the whole country

      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.

        i’m not even talking about rural/un-urbanized area. in cities your numbers are still way higher than reality. even in beijing, making 10k plus a month is like top 20%, needless to say “Salaries range from 7,410 CNY (lowest average)” is a day dream.

          Salaries have been rising steadily for the last ten years. Your data is likely out of date.
