Heshan City, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province is a small city with high consumption.

According to my personal opinion, it should be because many basic resources of people's livelihood have been monopolized by someone. If supermarkets, markets, water plants, gas and real estate development in urban areas are contracted by a few individuals, most shops in urban areas are bought by some people. Under normal circumstances, power is rent-seeking, so rich people generally have strong social relations, forming a kind of local protectionism, and it is difficult for competitive foreign funds to enter and projects to be approved. And these people may have formed an interest chain, which means that there may be capital exchanges in the above monopoly, and many of them may be family-run operations. Merchants pursue interests, and there is no competition in the market, so their rents will not be cheap, and natural prices will be expensive. Therefore, in completely open markets such as the United States and Hong Kong, their daily consumer goods are actually not high relative to their income level.

The above views are purely analytical and have no factual basis. If there are similarities, it is purely coincidental.
