By Zhu Qiwen | China Daily | Updated: 2015-06-18 07:43

The hullabaloo from Chinese Internet users about newly published salary statistics is fairly predictable as only the average numbers are given without giving the median.

Latest figures show that Beijing tops the list of salaries among the 20 provinces and municipal cities that have recently published their income statistics, with average annual pay of 77,560 yuan ($12,510) in 2014.

More eye-catching is that the average annual salary of urban public employees in Beijing exceeded the threshold of 100,000 yuan for the first time last year, symbolizing the fruits of China's remarkable economic growth over more than three decades.
