I would agree w/ you this time...
That's HK standard.

Here, I would say getting 200K annually considered as rich...simply because 200K gross income = $120K or $130K net?

if u earn that amount in canada, you can't be consider rich. you can at best be well off. just the tax alone cost you 70-80k.  which is 1/5th of an average apartment.   
the tax is also a reason why people rather earn "enough"

to equal earning of 1m in HK, you gotta be pulling at least 350k here in canada.  but with the amount of work u do to earn that much here, you could be earning 2m in hk already.

here, you have to work twice as hard and earn half as much.

I won't compare countries I'm not familiar about. However, in which way(s) you think HK is still good or better than here?
May I quote some facts, there are people jumped down from the top of buildin ...

suicides are almost never reported in the canadian media, that's why you hardly hear any.
