It doesn’t matter how much it costs, you’re only looking at half of the equation. We need to know how much they can spend each month. If the car can be paid off faster in China then they are doing better. If I used USA’s minimum wage and China’s minimum wage which one would be able to a small percentage of their wages to pay off a car in 10 years, which wins?
That misses the public transport options which are nonexistent on the US (for most practical purposes) for answering which one is “doing better”. From the way people drive, we’d all benefit from not being forced to own a car if we didn’t want to. It should be a premium/luxury product not a necessity for being part of society.
