In China, a meal that costs 71 RMB, like the one the blogger had, is considered relatively expensive. It’s not that the food itself is overpriced, but rather that they ordered quite a lot. In China, the average monthly income for an ordinary person is roughly 3,000 to a little over 4,000 RMB. A normal takeout meal usually costs around 15 to 30 RMB, which is the common price range.
Income levels vary a lot between different regions. For example, in Shanghai, the basic minimum monthly wage is around 6,000 to 7,000 RMB. In China, the lower limit of living conditions is relatively higher than in some other places, so people generally won’t starve, but most people also don’t earn that much.
