    I would kill for the wage increases the average Chinese person has seen over the last decade.

      Then move to China :) You can become an average Chinese person tomorrow, see how that turns out for you.

        You wish, it is not easy moving to China, otherwise I would have done it already. T.T

        Average white guy in a Chinese city lives the life.

        The real problem is in some of the poorer rural areas and low-tier cities.

      You start from a smaller baseline increases are easier. The Chinese economy has very serious problems.
