unfortunately the average chinese annual family income is $25/ year. so each of them were only able to invest about 10 cents.
![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) China GDP per capita = $10000 Family = 4 people Therefore, average family income = $40000/year. Where do you get $25/year from? I was going to say, last I heard, Chinese factory workers were getting something like $3/hr, and companies were moving AWAY from China because their labor had become so expensive in recent years.

If you didn't take my quote out of context, you would have know that I was referring to household income, of which the corrected number is still far larger than $25/year.

![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Nobody took you out of context. You used an irrelevant statistic to calculate income. That's all I said. You talk as if I claim that $25/year is correct... In fact, you used GDP per capita to calculate personal income, which you then used to estimate household income. So, you're being kind of ridiculous here.

Regardless of the precise number, it is far greater than $25. Also, please act more civilly.

If I remember correctly its like 4,000 usd per person if you only look at middle 50% of earners If you didn't take my quote out of context, you would have know that I was referring to household income, of which the corrected number is still far larger than $25/year.

Geez. Last time. If you're using irrelevant statistics, none of this matters. I never claimed $25 was right (nor would I -- talk to the person who said it). Not sure why you keep mentioning that. Also, average household size is 3.10, not 4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China#CIA_World_Factbook This would put the number around $17k, not $22k. (So, $25 is actually closer) Again, all I said was that your numbers were wrong, and I explained why. That's it. Why you're so defensive, I can't imagine, considering your numbers are so off... Lesson learned -- next time you pull numbers out of your ass, I'll simply ignore you. Likewise, don't lash out with strawmans and accuse people of "taking you out of context" just because you're being called out for making up numbers. Considering that, I have been civil.

China GDP per capita = $10000
Family = 4 people
Therefore, average family income = $40000/year.
I don't think the 2 kids work. And what about the 1 child policy?

Considering that, I have been civil. 4k was not per capita but per wage earner... so about +8,000 usd per house hold.. that why lots of families live with parents/grandparents... really bitcoin success in China will not be defined by the masses imo (in the short/medium-term), but rather the more affluent top 5% who have the savings to speculate... so like 100 million people? Thats maybe like twice or three times the number I expect in USA.. Perhaps of most interest tho is what role if any bitcoin will take in China's shadowing banking industry... which now rivals their actual banking system in size
