Russian wages are less than China's wages.

The average Russian wage is $303 per month. The average Ukranian makes only $165 per month. http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/87/347/15919_salary.html

The Chinese urban worker earned $0.95 per hour in 2002, $1.07 per hour in 2003, and $1.22 per hour in 2004 (http://www.morganstanley.com/GEFdata/digests/20060407-fri.html)...and was likely up to $1.54 by this year.

For the 2640 hour average Chinese workyear (10 hours per day, 22 days per month, 12 months per year), that's $4,065.60 per year....$338.80 per month.

That is not quite true. Go to the CIA World Fact Book and you will see the GDP Per Capita for China is only $6,300, whereas for Russia it is $10,700. The Russians have many benefits which are not included in their wages.

That's because the Chinese are worth damn. Russian workers, gee, I dunno. Maybe in Tartarstan. The last russian vehicle I used (brand new) is currently parked in Uzbekistan (catastrophic engine failure after 3000 miles). Is Travis gone for good?
