I happen to live somewhere with a currency that has about a 1:1 exchange rate with the RMB. All those videos where Chinese people talk about how ridiculously little they pay for food and rent and transportation and cars and everything else are really relatable in a "why do I have to pay four times as much for things that are much shittier?" kind of way.
