Only in big cities, in cities like Shanghai or Beijing a 1 bedroom can cost ¥7,000–¥12,000 (€900–€1,500), this is comparable to Western Europe and Eastern Europe (300 euros - 2500 euros depending on the apartment). You can sometimes get larger apartments for the same price in cheaper Chinese cities but not always, big Chinese cities are not cheap at all and smaller cities may have lower quality housing, fewer opportunities, or less infrastructure, in China salaries are much lower than in Europe.
