I work in Shanghai, my first full-time job as a Rails developer was more than 2k dollars a month(I was just graduated with only a little development experience), and I think that's about the average in Shanghai.

Good to know. My experience there was approximately 8 years ago. Im curious how much base salary has increased.

The salary data is way outdated. All of my developer friends who returned to first-tier cities in China earn >4k USD per month.
Even nannies generally earn more than 2k USD per month, it's hard to survive in tier-1 cities with 1k USD per month.

I do not think that would return if they are paid under 2k USD, and that doesn’t mean most of developers could earn more than 4k USD in China
A few thoughts from my experience living in China. When living in China, I didn't see any appeal in the overworking culture.
Most developers with families worked normal hours. People who were single made time to spend time with friends. I didn't see the overwork ethic it in a positive light at all. Keeping in mind normal developers salaries in tier 1 cities for China is sub-1k USD a month. In tier 2 cities, I can only imagine it gets exponentially lower and so forth for smaller cities.
