Is the dollar strong in China, I hear people make 5-10 cents an hour in china.
So a dollar can buy one weeks worth of groceries right?
The last time I was in china was a good year and half ago, so if my info is outdated, someone should correct me. A dollar cannot buy one week's grocery in any major city.
Rural factory workers may earn 5-10 cents an hour (which I kind of doubt, but I don't know much about this), but it's certainly not true for any for any city office workers.
Also, the chinese currency is hard pegged to the dollar.
