Hello friends.

Could I please get some suggestions on where I can go to learn more about how China’s civil government works, particularly in how it taxes Chinese citizens and its social programs, etc.

I’ve come to realize that I’m very ignorant in how the average Chinese person pays and gets benefits from their government. Much in the way that I pay taxes in America for social security, Medicare, state and local taxes, pay my 401k and IRA, rent/mortgage, etc.

Despite studying China for much of my young life, there are many things I still don’t know about how average Chinese people deal with this kind of stuff. And honestly, I don’t understand at all how general internal Chinese bureaucracy and laws work.

I feel like this will be very important to know in helping me refine my opinions when talking to my peers about China.

Thanks!
