Xinhuanet: "Prices rose 40 years also missed the United States" a little pull

Yu Fenghui's expert on development and reform commission Liu Fuzhen raised news that on November 3rd he was thrown into the "nothing hassle of rising prices, and that if China wants to become a powerful country, it must have three highs: high prices, high people prices, and high money prices." The Morning News reporter said in an interview: “If prices do not increase, we will not be able to keep up with the price of the United States for 40 years.” “At present, there is no inflation in China” (November 3, “News Morning News”).

As soon as this statement was made, it was a thunder. Has China's price really risen for 40 years and it has not caught up with the United States? The answer is of course negative. To refute this remark no more profound theoretical foundation and how thorough argumentation is required, as long as the current price situation in the United States is set out, everything is clear in the world. The Global Network recently published an article entitled "The price comparison between China and the United States, where life is cheaper," and the author shares it with everyone, refuting the fallacy that "prices have risen for 40 years but not the United States."

From the New York City to see the United States price, consumer life categories: in Chinese supermarkets, live crab seafood, a dozen you choose, the price from 5.99 US dollars to 12.99 US dollars, according to the quality of the season and change. Pork, pork ribs $ 0.99 a pound (a pound is approximately equal to 0.51 kg), especially the internal organs such as pig's liver, pig's heart, pig's foot, all kinds of bones and so on are between $ 0.50 - $ 0.99; Thailand 50 pounds of rice, a bag of about 18 dollars. Chinese cabbage, 0.50 US dollars per pound. Tomato 1 dollar 1 pound. Grape 0.99 yuan a pound. 6 bottles of Budweiser beer $7. 3 or 5 oranges for 1 dollar. Daily products: a pair of Italian leather shoes, about 50 to 100 US dollars, a pair of Nike and Addis average of about 60 US dollars, a variety of ordinary clothing is also cheaper than China, Couch bag can also be sold for 60 US dollars, LV is not very You can also buy a laptop for $300 to $600. Electrical products are much cheaper than China, and cars of the same grade are lower in price than China. It is no secret that gasoline prices are lower than China, and high-end hotels are about the same price as China. A family of three is in the United States. In life, if you don't go out to eat or drink, it's usually mediocre. Normally, about $300 a month is enough.

The person who has long lived in New York, New York, has just returned to his hometown in Chongqing a few days later feels that: I really did not expect that China's prices will rise so fast. I used to feel a few cents a pound of small dishes, and now a few dollars a The prices of pounds, pork, fish, and chicken were astonishingly high to me. They could not help thinking of America's inexpensive goods. At the same time, she said with emotion that just because Americans spend less in their lives, people’s income allows them to travel around the world. Therefore, from the comparison of the absolute prices of prices, except for a few products like vegetables, which are slightly more expensive than China, most of the goods are almost or even lower than China.

According to this report, it can be seen that it will be difficult to determine the price of China and the United States for 40 years.

The author also asks: When will the income of the Chinese people catch up with Americans? The average annual income of U.S. workers is between 40,000 and 40,000 U.S. dollars. In 2009, the average annual wage of non-private employees in cities and towns was 32,736 yuan. The U.S. employees are almost 10 times the average wage in China. If China adds the average wage to the private sector, Lower. In 2009, the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 17,175 yuan, and the per capita net income of rural residents was 5,153 yuan. The Chinese people, who are one-tenth of U.S. income, have to bear almost the same price as the U.S., and the burden on the people’s lives can be imagined. In fact, what can really be compared is the ratio of price level to income level, that is, price-to-income ratio is truly comparable to the level of income. For example: electricity prices, in 2008 the world's major residents of the thousand degrees of electricity prices are: Germany 263 US dollars, the United Kingdom 231 US dollars, Japan 176 US dollars, France 169 US dollars, the United States 114 US dollars, South Korea 89 US dollars and China 69 US dollars. From the aspect ratio, China's electricity price is undoubtedly at a low level internationally. However, if these electricity price figures are compared with the local per capita national income, the diametrically opposite conclusion is reached. According to the 2008 per capita national income of US$42,440, the ratio of the thousand-kilowatt electricity price to per capita national income is 0.62%, compared with 0.24% in the United States, compared with 2.49% in China. In terms of relative prices, China’s electricity price is more than four times that of Germany and about 10 times that of the United States. This is the person who came back from New York in the United States repeatedly stressed: Never use the dollar and the *** to compare the price with the number after seven, because people make money in the United States and spend 1 US dollar and 1 in the United States. Yuan *** is actually the same meaning. This is actually the theory of purchasing power parity. If we compare prices between China and the United States, Chinese prices are already much more expensive than the United States.

From the comparison of absolute prices, China is almost the same as the United States; from the comparison of purchasing power and price-to-income ratio, China's price has been much higher than that of the United States. Therefore, the expert's "if not 40 years of rising prices can not keep up with the price of the United States" is completely nonsense. As for whether China currently has an inflation issue, unless the experts do not eat the world, or if the money is too much to hold on to the price, it will be blindly talking.

At present, some experts are against the will of the people. They are also trying to raise the inflation control line. They are also imposing their own feelings that prices are not high on ordinary people. This is the performance in the face of inflation, step by step, helpless, and don't help poor performance, or have other purposes? When China’s prices rise sharply and inflation is intensifying, such a trend of thought is quite dangerous. Because he is not only out of the ordinary people's true feelings, harming the general public, but also can greatly mislead decision-making decision-making. Such indifferent expert remarks should be vigilant.
