Every country has their run-down place. Be it US or China. And I do know a lot of Chinese complain about living condition in China. The condo is too small, too clamp, too dirty, too far from anything.
I can even make a video and compare some US Upper Middle-Class suburb and rundown downtown Chicago.
I mean, it's all the same in the world, if you have money, you live in a dream house and live like a king, if you don't, all you can live is shitty place. Thing is, if you earn around $40000 a year, you can probably afford some nice place in China, you can't in America.
