They can't afford iphones-5,000yuan(it will be stolen).

Not true. I can see a Samsung Note and an iPhone from where I'm standing in a Shanghai metro carriage. All bar one of the Chinese teachers I work with have an iPhone and they make about a third of what I do per month.

Actually that's only at my M-F job. But iPhones are a majority among the Chinese teachers I work with.

And China, or at least Shanghai, is very, very safe. If you're unlucky you may be pickpocketed but you will not be mugged.



Or you accidentally leave your iphone in the cab :(

Shanghai is special in china, it's closer to a modern city than anywhere else. iPhone's dominate the high end in Beijing also.
