Cost of living in Shanghai - 25k RMB monthly - deal?

firstly I would hope that the 25K was after Tax....,,, 5 K for an apartment ... depending where in Sh you want to live.....the larger hospitals have VIP areas... and I have found that many of both the doctors and Nurses speak and understand english...medical costs are expensive... your company should provide you with medical insurance... not just for you...but you wife and family...5 years ago 25 K would have just been average... but the cost of living in China  has increased considerably....ha ha I wouldn't come here to work for 25 K if I had a wife and family...I would want at least 33k

Hi Chandraiah,

   Welcome to China.
   It's expensive to live in Shanghai, more expensive than in Beijing. Rent an appartment for three will be 5000RMB, also there is difference between area. I think you have to be paid an insurence by your company if you work in China, it's chinese law.
  Income tax will be 4000(maybe more) if 25K per month.

I am not living in Shanghai, in a city called Qingdao

I explain your question if I know
