Some brits, most brits are worse off than the average Chinese in all but paper money. Restriced to Han chinese regions; PPP is on par. Overall china has much better social services and growth. Of the two I know which country I'd want to be born into in 2026
What numbers are you referring to? From what I found, median full-time salary in the UK is >40k USD/year, and in urban (!) China it's ~20k USD/y.
Purchasing power adjustment is ~1.5 (in favor of China, obviously), so this should not be close no matter how you slice it.
