大陆一二线城市的生活水平已经超过台湾？

Group 1 - The living standards in mainland China's first and second-tier cities have reportedly surpassed those of the average Taiwanese, with a narrowing income gap due to recent currency depreciation [1] - The median monthly salary for employees in Taiwan is reported to be NT$38,208, which translates to approximately RMB 9,457.4 at the current exchange rate of 4.04 [1] - If the exchange rate were at the previous level of 1:5, the median salary would only be RMB 7,641, raising questions about the classification of this income level as high [1] Group 2 - The cost of living in Taiwan is significantly higher, with prices for cars, motorcycles, and home appliances being about twice that of mainland China, alongside older infrastructure [2] - For example, the high-speed rail fare from Taipei to Kaohsiung is NT$1,490, equivalent to RMB 368.8, which is about double the cost per kilometer compared to mainland China's high-speed rail [2] - The ticket price for a second-class seat on the Shenzhen to Nanning high-speed rail is RMB 324.5 for a distance of approximately 648 kilometers, making it significantly cheaper per kilometer than the Taiwanese high-speed rail [2]
