Actually, Xinhui, apparently with the reappraisal of PPP by the World Bank, the number of Chinese living on less than a dollar a day has shot up from 100 million to 300 million.
That would put their wages to 3650 rmb a year. The teachers in BLCU, so I understand, make around 10000 rmb a year. A decorated middle manager at Baosteel, the young husband of my young cousin (both in their 30s?), makes... Um, is it 84000 rmb a year or 12000 rmb a year? I think it's the former. A friend of my mothers, a member of the capitalist class, who is a moderately successful businesswoman in the musical industries trade, makes, or made, I heard she had a incident where the adjacent Nestle factory complained about effluvent flowing from her factory (what kind? Lacquer? Wood dust?) and forced her to relocate, $35000 a year.
