what kind of room are you getting for 100 CAD?
you can easily spend 15-20 rmb for a meal in shanghai/beijing and be full, the fact that you CAN spend 1k+ rmb is irrelevant
u know the average size an low end dorm room? smaller than that. and its outside of the 4th circle in beijing, that was like a rural area when i lived in china in 1999 now its considered close to center LOL. housing in china is retardedly expensive.
you gotta be eating some shit food if you spend 15-20rmb for a meal. thats how much a bag of lays chips costs in china....

15-20rmb for a meal? I was in one of the outer-zone areas around Beijing, and a simple meat main dish was around 40RMB.

you cannot convert...... thats not how you compare standard of living.... you can decent sized room in toronto for 400cnd a month and it wont even be nearly as far from the downtown core. and the quality of living condition is incomparable.
edit: erasme carrying? thats new.

to conclude highend chinese gamers like xiao8 who gets paid like 110k rmb per year lives above the average standard in china. but that standard is still awful compared to a low salary job in north america.
if you dont believe me go visit china for a month and try to live off 10k rmb/month. i dare you.

yes, simply put, if you can get a room for 700 RMB that's equivalent to a $200 CAD room, then housing is HALF as expensive in China as it is in Canada. Obviously the environmental and public health standards, as I've stated, are quite lacking, but that's different than the price of things like rent and food.
I did, I spent about 5k RMB travelling around Shanghai for a month last winter.

But yeah, he's right. There's some official way to look it up decently, but its been 2.5 years since my undergrad and i've forgotten everything about economics since then.
Oh right, has something to do with PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity
