In july, the students flew back to beijing like a migratory bird and enjoyed china on the tip of their tongues. Compared to the prices of china and the united states, for example, eating, to be honest, in absolute terms, eating in china is cheap. Of course, we're gonna complain about the price increase, a small cage box with buns for $18 and soup buns for $22, but we don't have to tip the waiter, we can bring our own drinks in, although we might eat ditch oil. This is about relative value. It means that americans make a lot of money to go out and eat anything, and it's only half a day's pay, and we could work five or six hours. Like coffee, starbucks has the same pricing mechanism around the world. Buying a cup of coffee in the united states is $2. 10, and americans can buy enough for five or six minutes, but in shanghai, a cup of coffee of the same kind costs 25 yuan yuan, twice as much as the united states, and the chinese may have to work an hour to buy a cup of morphine. Why is it so high? This could have something to do with the taxes and administrative fees of various names in china. Some prices are unclear. For example, tea, beef jerky, pineapple, and so on in china's supermarket, and in carrefour in the united states, but these things sell in china even two or three times higher than in the united states. Instead, the prices of american foods entering china have doubled, for example, california red wine selling 108 yuan in china, $6 in the united states, 32 yuan in china for tomato sauce, and 2 to 3 yuan in the united states. French heads are both luxury imports of izl products in the united states and china, but imported into the united states is $125 a bottle, while in china it is $1558 a hundred times more expensive than the united states. Why? Maybe china has high import taxes. Of course, we all know that american houses, cars, perfumes, jeans are cheaper than chinese countries, either absolutely or at relative prices. There's an object that's expensive in america, and it's not a star and a half, and that's people working. For example, in san francisco silicon valley in the united states of america, the price of the u. S.'s expensive and cheap supermarket as cashier, $9. 5 an hour. The current california statutory minimum wage is $9 per hour. Beijing, just adjusted the minimum wage, 9. 89 yuan an hour, only one sixth. But the americans were not satisfied, and on may 2, el, california, the los angeles city council passed a bill to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2020. This $15 minimum wage is a little scary: 100 yuan an hour to start without any skill. Los angeles's wage hiker is l. A. Mayor jahiti, whose logic is that a large number of people in los angeles live below the poverty line, and a wage hike will solve the problem of poverty. But it doesn't prove that the mayor must be right and most people must be rational. The main opposition is that the level of wages should be determined by the market, that the government should not intervene, that the minimum wage should rise, that everything should follow, that the cost of running the economy increases, that businesses reduce hiring or flee from los angeles, and that this could lead to a recession. The recession and poverty will grow. Even more toxicly, the mayor of jahiti would not understand that he was not responsible for the long-term interests of the people of los angeles, but for his own vote, and he went for the governor, the senate and even the president of the united states. But there's an artificially cheap country in the united states, and king ann is cheaper than china, and that's the official. My classmate sun xiaogang served on the planning committee in the city of pitino, bay district, california, with one penny of no money. Bob taylor is mayor of brentwood, a small city in the gulf of america, and he is a full-time official with an annual salary of $1727. 1 million, a monthly salary of $1439, $8. 3 per hour, below the minimum wage of $9 in the state of gaceta. It's a pity $8. 3 per hour, and this year the city council gave him $939 per month and $5. 24 per hour. The same is true of the councillor of brentwood, who says that the mayor's job responsibilities and intensity are greater than those of the other councilors. Is brentwood a poor county? Don't give the mayor a respectable salary? No. There are 51,481 people in brentwood with an average annual income of $883. 6 million, an average annual income of $32. 818 million, twice the mayor's salary of $172. 71 million, and the mayor doesn't even make money'it's worse than jl. Summarizing: eating chinese food, earning american wages, living in american houses, driving american cars, but not being an american official. In fact, the nominal salaries of chinese officials are not high, but some people have grey incomes. If anti-corruption controls these gray revenues, i believe some people don't want to be chinese officials. (excerpt from chinese youth) i'm 6th year, 1. Term f 9
