Hi I’m one of the Americans that transferred to Rednote as word of Tiktok shutdown got around. I just wanted to drop by and show everyone a comparison that is WILD to me.
These are all in Yuan, the local currency. A buck, two bucks, six bucks… that seems really nice.
And then you pop it in U.S dollars.
14 cents. 14 cents for food.
So seeing the difference there, I got curious and made a post asking the netizens how much they typically pay for things, and I asked for how much my meds would cost. These answers are eye opening.
Eleven Yuan.
A dollar and two quarters.
Without insurance, my meds are 400 bucks in U.S currency.
There’s no excuses for this. No excuse for why anyone should have to live like this.
