Response to a youtube comment denigrating China's low wages:
@nowthatsjustducky As I worked as a VFX artist in 2011, I negotiated moving to China to work on a VFX contract. I was astounded to read their correspondence telling me that the wages were 1/4 of the wages in the USA, because you did not have to pay rent. The government GIVES you an apartment as a right of your citizenship. As a contract worker, I would be given and apartment and not have to rent an apartment.
Your wages in China are just for living expenses. Also, China has free medical care, so you do not have to buy medical insurance. Does that answer your question? In USA America you rent an apartment and pay for medical care; in China those are given to you as a right of citizenship. In the USA 50% of ALL bankruptcies are for medical expenses. Which social system sounds like a superior environment for the average citizen to you?
