While that doesnt sound like much for you or I. Living is cheap in China. Rent an apartment is about 1000 rmb/month. food for a day? about 30-50 rmb if you eat out every meal.
Now if you go way into the countryside people are making less im sure.

I am sure you are right. I was speaking of factory workers, unskilled. Wages are extremely low, brutal days, hard to get paid. After room, board and fees, the wage received is pretty low.
I feel bad for the workers and the children living in cities. Japanese companies have begun recalling mid and upper level managers due to the living conditions sinking rapidly.
So they say.
