    It's nothing personal, I just think it's partly true that. So I added some, including labour issues.

    You mentioned median income, According to Zhongjin data, 95% of the population has a monthly income below 5,000 RMB. I don't know the source of your data.

      I got the number by clicking on the first link I found, cross checked with my cousin's income and it is within a plausible range. my statement still stands that healthcare is not cheap in China atm and it would eat up a portion of your income if you have severe issues.

      5,000 RMB

      sounds about right, my electrician cousin makes less than that
