How would I go about finding out
My most optimistic economic model for the future has the average salary for a skilled worker pretty much uniform from Johannesburg to Punta Arenas, from Vancouver to Fuzhou; and, given the shape of the world's skilled-worker population, that uniform salary would be not much more than the contemporary value in China. But I've not a clue what the standard of living of my Chinese counterpart would be, so am asking broadly here for enlightenment.

- The average price of a one-room flat in such a city?
