How poor is China ? (no offensive), I am just wondering.?

Answer 1

when i was in china 1988, if you have united states dollars, you are considered rich and lucky.

now, nobody would exchange or accept united states dollars in china.

china has risen from poverty to one of the most promising economy in the whole world. it is true that this century belongs to the east.

Answer 2

It isn't ... China is actually an extremely wealthy country at this point in time. The fact that it's a society controlled by a socialisitic government is bound to leave many millions in low class lifestyles but overall this country is possibly the most powerful country in the world though it lacks by far the ability to exert it's political influence over the world in ways which the United States can and does. It's governments socialisitic views have proven once again that wealth and power cannot overcome a reputation based on brute control and the suppression of freedom among it's peoples. The world doesn't, and never has, accepted such behaviour.

Answer 3

The PRC is not poor. There are many hundreds of millions of people there that are poor. The Govt has been promising to address this problem for a long time but it is still a lot of talk.
Last report : The PRC has the largest foreign exchange reserve in the world: Over USD1 Trillion .

An interesting report from the Horse's mouth:

Answer 4

How much one makes isn't most important, it's how one spends the money...... for you see, chinese are smart in general because of their nature to work together as a family, same like the jews, that gives them an edge up cause americans tend to spend more than they make, they live in DEBT, therefore if they don't get paid salary for a month they could easily end up homeless where that wont happen with many other cultures

Answer 5

It depends what part of China... Some urban areas the workers make about $200 US per year... Guangdong is a poorer province

Answer 6

actually, most of chinese are poor. it is true. there are about 800 million people live in countryside, most of them are poor people. but people live in big cities are rich . i think most of u only know the big cities about china , such us Shanghai , beijing, guangzhou . but have u ever been to west of china or middle of china, have u been to the countryside.most of the people in countryside are very poor,it 's unfair.
i am a chinese, and i have been to , so i know that.
