50 real situations in China

Recently I read a post in Chinese bbs about 50 real situations in China,I thought most of them are reasonable and truth ,so I translated it into English .

First:The imcome of ordinary citizens is one-tenths of citizens in Europe and America,but the price of housing is up to the price of housing in Europe and America.

Second:House can be owned by individual ,but the land will be owned by state,recent enacted law regulates that house is part of land which means your house is part of state property.

Third:In terms of international calls ,the fee of calls from China to oversea is ten times higher than the fee of calls from oversea to China ,which so-called supporting national industry.

Fourth:every day Chinese government shout out the great renaissance of China,the great renaissance of China is based on the renaissance of education,however the Chinese government only invests money on education as same amount as the poorest Africa country Uganda,and individuals have to pay the higherst fee of education themselves in the world,then sarcastically the government calls this "socialism advantage".

Fifth:The salary of civil servants is three times higher than the salary of natinal average ,sarcastically the Chinese government calls this "civil servants are not easy to be corruption if their civil servants get higher pay",the fact is that China is one of the most corrupted country in the world.

Sixth:Civil servants don't pay retirement pension,however after they are retired they get three times more retirement pension than other people,sarcastically when an offical in Japan didn't pay three months retirement pension,Chinese media constantly reported this scandal ,didn't they know that Chinese civil servants didn't pay any retirement pension?didn't they know that they are not qualified to criticize this kind of behavior of other countries?

Seventh:People have to pay money to police when they lease their private houses,it seems like that people pay money to gangdom to get safeguard.
