On the note about government run by a capitalist class, what would you estimate the premier of China (Xi Jinping’s) monthly salary and net worth is? How much would that be compared to minimum wage. Is it transparent?

Yes, the compensation for civil servants is public information. Am I supposed to do your basic research for you?

President Xi's official monthly salary was approximated around ¥11,000–12,000 RMB (~$1,500 USD), based on extrapolation from China's civil service pay scale for national-level officials. "级差八九百,国家主席月薪大概1万多". This reporting however dates to 2014 and explicitly frames the figure as an estimate, not an official disclosure. China does not routinely publish itemized, real-time compensation statements for top leaders on public government portals.

As with other senior leaders, the role includes regulated, position-based benefits to support official duties: an official residence in Zhongnanhai, access to designated medical facilities for senior cadres, official vehicles and so on.

Yeah could you, since you have found it. I haven't, clearly my basic research ability is lacking. Can you point me where the salary of public servant is public including the premier's and validated by a neutral body?
