Wild how closely the price differences stick to the general 4:1 difference in post-tax average salaries. Just yesterday I've read some tweets on how differences in GDP per capita, even corrected for PPP, might not fully capture just how similar living standards of different countries might be...

That one also had things which weren't cheaper enough in China to make it as affordable for them as it was for Americans, but there were also things that were more expensive in the US than in China even taking the income difference into account, and overall it all trended pretty close to the 4:1 difference in median salaries. In this one, things are more likely to be cheaper in India, but not to the 2.5:1 difference in salaries, so overall they are just less affordable there, and there are only two things max which are more expensive in China even after adjusting for the different salaries.

Why milk so expensive in china

Milk isn't really traditionally consumed there by the majority of the population (it absolutely is by certain ethnic minorities in the country) so the supply of it is far lower, same reason why pork is more expensive in Muslim countries.

Jeets also have A2 milk which is superior.

This is because they had no milk market thus the lactase never developed

Why milk so expensive in china

80% of Asians are intolerant to milk and they have no enzyme to process alcohol, so they get drunk very quickly. One bottle of vodka for a Chinese is equivalent to three bottles of vodka for a European.

I am much more surprised by the low cost of Chinese beer than by other comparisons.
