In México, we are having price surges as well. People prefer to smuggle eggs instead selling them locally because the price is higher in the other side. It sucks when capitalist have the means of production.
I envy people living in China or in other socialist countries.
Nah, eggs prices are rising in Mexico due to the shortage of eggs in the USA which mostly caused by several reasons: Bird flu, price speculation and some others(maybe someone more knowledgeable could correct me on this).
Going back to Mexico, Mexican capitalist are favoring the US market because they can profit way more and that is pushing the price upward. Tariffs for the Mexica food industry are in a 90 day pause except for tomatoes.
It would be better to compare the cost using average wages, or even minimum wage. Where I live in the west we could get about 282kg of eggs permonth on minimum wage (pretax), and in some Chinese provinces (minimum wage varies) you could get 340kg.

Meanwhile in China
That’s why I love China. They have things structured to keep prices of food low.

3.99 RMB ($0.55) per 500g - about 10 eggs.
