Try failing harder. The primary factor that makes the cost of living high in Chinese cities is their property bubble, which is a direct result of government regulation. Foreign investment is restricted for Chinese citizens and weak property rights under the authoritarian government make other types of domestic investment risky.
- givemeabreak 13y agoLet me guess: Sao Paolo is expensive because of government. And Moscow. Etc. In fact, no matter what country you pick, the most highest cost of living nearly always in the most thriving cities. Any intelligent, sane, informed, and/or rational person would realize this means that this means markets are a driver. But you, like most Libertarians on this site, pretend that it's always the government, though always for a different reason. This is because you're a closed-minded moron who recognizes that government is always one edge away in the graph, and thus you can blame every single bad thing on it. You truly are a far-gone religious zealot who has lost any connection with reality. Enjoy your lonely, shitty, ignorant, awful life.
