Cost of Living in Shanghai

Shanghai and Beijing has collapsed completely nothing open. But it's Chinese citizens fault for allowing that for decades.However China will look like Hiroshima in the very near future just like russia Belarus Fire just one missile at the USA watch your countries flattened to ashes guaranteed.You're all dead you just don't know it yet truth be known.
Let's dance we will lead guaranteed.

Dance with us we'll lead promise.

Egypt is much richer than china. Chinese are insects.

Hello. How is the cost of living in songjiang?

There is an old Chinese saying, "Summer bugs won’t understand ice", which is quite appropriate to describe some of the comments. Oh, sorry, that's a little too complicated for you illiterates. My bad.

You need to increase your meds or decrease your meds because your post on June 2 2024 didn't make any sense at all.
Humanity is done with the Chinese challenge which means Xi has repeatedly shown he's beyond a dictator but instead a mass murderer Xi loves to make Chinese people suffer needlessly and other countries in Asia it's no secret but since you feel so strongly about it as an American you should denounce your USA citizenship and join forces with Xi. But don't expect to be applauded because Xi isn't liked by any countries especially in Asia.

Most of you have never been to China! Listen to your media. As a China native living in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, I have a good life here. I am really surprised to see the nonsense everywhere in this comment area. The Communist Party of China (CPC)'s initial intention is to serve the society and the people. I have never been persecuted here.

Average salary is very high, almost equal to Stockholm! Cant believe economical growth is that fast, its craaaaazy to me!

We've been to china seen the cost of living which isn't really living well.Basically there's no quality workmanship with any products we've purchased which is all products made in china to the present.A rapidly declining population average age is 49 unsustainable survival rate. A place where foreign businesses don't do business anymore but instead have chosen countries like Indonesia Malaysia and Vietnam. As far as quality of life goes there is none in china no matter how much hype there is it doesn't matter and it never did.We are a powerful private investment group who lured both small and large businesses out of china and it didn't take much convincing.

China is like an open wound full of infection waiting to be boiled out.No worries though a nuke will clean all of the infected Chinese including north korea south Korea Japan Vietnam all of Asia needs to be disinfected with a really hot fire.Help is on the way soon no worries.Ah the smell of burning flesh is invigorating, slendid.

It's a very grim situation in China to say the least unfortunately.By the end of 2023 china's population is expected to shrink by 700 million less people and that's a conservative figure.

All morgues are way over capacity and funeral homes all hospitals cannot handle anymore patients instead turning people away including emergency rooms no more rooms are available.

500,000 new infections just in Shanghai 130 new Omnicron strains highly contagious causing white lung infections. The actual figures aren't being released but it's 37% more.Lockdowns have been discontinued throughout china over the past 3 months.

This is all academic because nobody wants to move to China anymore due to their crazy lockdowns.

guys, you really need to be smarter to make big comments on politics. CCCP is the abbreviation for Союз Советских Социалистических Республик, AKA Soviet Russia. Abbreviation for Chinese Communist Party is CCP, or officially CPC. Neither of you two genius get it right, still you talk like that you know better than anyone, oh cmon :p
Politics are complicated, at least what youtube offers don't cover much. For the Christ sake, shut your clown show

China has destroyed its economy by putting real-estate as its main economic driver which is currently setting at 70% negatively.Many ghost cities have been built nobody living in them and uncompleted only the outer shell for astethics,but nothing else inside of those buildings not even walls I've seen them before over the years.

So many unpaid loans and many defaults on loans never making one payment.Like Russia China bluffs continously bragging but there's nothing to brag about. But instead failure poor planning and a huge ageing ageing population meaning certain failure.The China one policy has bitten to the bone there's no getting around it.

As a ordinary people worked in Shanghai for 6 years, I could tell you more about the cost of living in Shanghai.

First of all, there is a big cost difference between the area of city center and the area outside of center. It is easy to notice the difference by comparing the house price and rent price between the two areas. Furthermore,the rent also cost the biggest part ( almost 40%-60%) in the monthly expenses. So, a simple way to judge if your salary could let you live well in Shanghai is that if your salary double the rent cost of your working or living place. For example, if your salary is 15,000 RMB and you live in city center, you could have a happy time working in Shanghai.

Secondly, if you cannot get enough salary, there is still many ways to live well. China's e-commerce is so popular and developed that you can easily get low-price products, such as clothing and shoes, almost all articles for daily use, much lower than the price showed on this website.

Finally, there is at least 3 reasons to recommend you to cook by yourself. Cooking at home cost less than half the price of having a lunch in an inexpensive restaurant. Food safety is a serious public concern among China society of which the current situation has been better and well managed in recent years. However, it's still not recommended to often eat outside. And, Chinese cuisine is rich and varied which has developed over thousand years. Why not have a try on cooking your own Chinese food which is a typical traditional culture of China treasured by almost every Chinese people.

Hope my advice could help and welcome to Shanghai.

P.S. Forget my poor English.

Hi, there, as you can see, there're some arrogrant and devil voice here.
I wish those people never step in China, even when their country is in chaos, war or the allign country betray them and start to invade their country, gov is a sh*t, please don't ask Chinese gov's help or accept Chinses recouces.
and don't use the products made in China, dont's use app, high tech from China, please insist to be blind, poor and arrogant, open the telly and know th world from your media, lol.

I lived 6 years in Shanghai and the cost of an apartment rent for three bedrooms starts from CNY 30.000 and not CNY 18.000

Shanghai like the rest of China is feeling not only the heat from sanctions from many countries but it's very existence is on the line.All countries are now looking at China under an economic microscope and they should.China spares no country when it comes to stolen patents and also debt traps.
Although I don't have any hatred for any Chinese citizens many do and they shouldn't. Remember Chinese citizens are feeling the brunt of the CCP daily.China is on the road to decimation and after the pandemic has cost so many lives globally and needlessly that forced people around the world to view China much differently for good reasons.Loved ones gone forever never being able to share laughter and life with them is a big price to pay for the CCP heartless greed and zero respect for all of mankind.
