While my last couple of posts have provided useful information about Beijing, I think that this post may be the most interesting for those living in the U.S. Based on my time in China, I have provided a breakdown of the prices of items in Beijing. While most would assume that goods would be cheaper in China, it may surprise you to find out how much some everyday items actually cost.
Despite China’s rapid growth, there is still a major gap between quality of living in China and the US. Most economists estimate that Beijing is 20 years behind New York. Cost of living is very favorable in China, and I have compiled a list of prices for ordinary items based on my experiences in China.
