These prices are simply not true. 1000 USD per month in the US will get you much more than a 1000 RMB in China. For 100 RMB you can only find a roach and mold infested hole in a tier 3 city, there are no hotels at this price in cities like Beijing or Shanghai. Yes, you can buy a jianbing on the street for 10 RMB or less, but it is the equivalent of buying a street hot dog in New York and calling that "breakfast". Something a sane person can call breakfast will be at least 20-30 RMB, still with no guarantees that your food isn't cooked in recycled gutter oil.
