Quality of life- china vs australia?

• what are the similarities and differences for australia and china in relation to the quality of life?

• Answer:

  Take a look at the facts of these 2 countries and you will see there are very little similarities between them, if any. 1) Australia's area of 7,682,300 sq km is 80% of China's 9,596,960 sq km, yet it's population of not even 22 million is only 1.7% of China's 1.32 BILLION. The 2 Chinese cities, Shanghai and Hong Kong, already has 26 million people combined. 2) For 2009 Australia's GDP per capita is $38,911 ranking 10th in the world, China's is $6,567 which is 99th in the world, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita 3) Australia is a democracy and China is a one party rule socialist country. There is censorship in China. Due to the extreme difference in the density of population and per capita income, basically there isn't a lot of similarity except for a few wealthy individuals who could afford the same luxuries, and for people living in big cosmopolitan cities in that they all have TV, fridge, electric/gas stove, sewage system etc.
