Another factor to consider in income is that extended families may live under one roof raising the total income for that household. This may be due to cultural and survival ways. And one person's income may be supporting extended family members..

There is no Chinese "language." There are two major languages spoken in China, some minor ones, and hundreds of dialects.Are Mandarin and Cantonese lumped together for this 2 million people statistic?Just wondering. I mean, this is about diversity, yes?.
