China Tells

It seems that the national Salary level of China has not kept the growth pace of GDP growth. In fact, the salary/GDP ratio continues to go down since early 90s and drops to a low of around 10% in 1998. After 1998, the ratio slightly recovered but still only hovered around 11% by 2008. Such a fact is saddening to Chinese who feel proud of the country’s economy growth, but in fact receive less in terms of real income. In the meanwhile, it seems that the government received more tax since 95. The tax/GDP ratio continues to go up to 18% by 2008.

中国的国民生产总值在近20年的增长勇冠全球，但是同时人们的工资水平却没有怎么提高。根据最新统计，中国人的工资水平在90年以后持续下滑，到98年降到10%左右，此后虽然没有继续下滑，但也没有回升，稳定在10%左右。同时政府的税收收入却稳步上升，从94年的10%上升到08年的18%左右，增幅明显。
