India: Considering the long-term development strategy, the Indian market is very attractive to foreign direct investment. However, India's purchasing power and consumption level are still at a low level because of its low annual per capita gross national product, which is only US$ 450 and serious polarization. For most consumer goods, especially high-end products and new technology products, the actual market size is not proportional to the population, so the attraction of market size to foreign direct investment in the near future is relatively limited. India's middle class accounts for a very low proportion of the population, and the high-consumption class mainly meets daily needs by directly importing products, including some world-famous brands. For the vast majority of Indians, they can only afford very cheap daily necessities produced locally, and the consumption is not large. Due to the narrow product market, some foreign-funded enterprises are facing operational difficulties, and several China companies, including Konka, quit shortly after entering the Indian market. Cuba: The average salary in Cuba is about 300 pesos per month. According to the official exchange rate, a peso is slightly larger than a dollar. If converted into RMB, it is more than 2,000 yuan per month. This figure seems acceptable. After careful inquiry, it suddenly dawned on me that Cuba, like China, implements a dual-track foreign exchange system. Foreign tourists can only use foreign exchange certificates, 1 US dollar exchange 1 Cuban peso. In the folk, 1 peso foreign exchange certificate can be exchanged for 25 Cuban pesos. The wine displayed in the store counter is priced at 6 pesos. Foreigners use foreign exchange certificates when they buy them, and Cubans use Cuban pesos. Although it is the same price, foreigners actually pay 25 times more.

Find out the exchange rate relationship and look at the living standards of Cubans. The average wage of Cubans is 300 pesos per month. If converted into dollars, it is only $65,438 +02, which is unimaginable low. However, its purchasing power is much higher than $ 12. In the shop, a shirt costs 20 pesos and a pair of sports shoes costs 30 pesos. Converted into dollars is about 1 dollar. Cubans are good at singing and dancing, and probably have a special preference for audio equipment. The most expensive item in the store is the Philip stereo, which costs 900 pesos. It is equivalent to the average person's income for three months. The "Samsung" brand refrigerator made in China costs 849 pesos, which seems a bit expensive. Cubans, like China people before the reform, generally don't need refrigerators, but now they eat and buy.

Cienfuegos is the third largest city in Cuba. In such a big city, there are actually few shops on the street, no advertisements for goods, and even few shop signs. There is a pedestrian street in the city center, let alone a "shopping street", because there is basically nothing to buy except souvenirs of handicrafts. North Korea: The Korean people have been struggling in dire straits. In fact, North Korea's economy is declining, the government's financial pressure is huge, the whole country's economy is in a mess, and people's living standards are not optimistic at all.

North Korea has always been one of the poorest countries in the world, and the poverty level can be comparable to Haiti during the earthquake at the beginning of the year.

Friends who live near the border between northeast China and North Korea know that we can exchange a box of matches with them for a bottle of wine near the border, which shows the poverty level of North Korea. ...

Korean society is still very dark ... people are often bought and sold in North Korea. ...

The living standard of the Korean people is relatively better than that of African countries, and North Korea is poorer than Mongolia, but compared with us, there is naturally a big gap.
