Answer 1

25% is about right for the mandatory income tax presuming your in the higher tax bracket (20+k /mo), Social security is an additional amount roughly 1000rmb per month which gives you heavily discounted healthcare. I recommend get travel insurance instead as this is cheaper and covers more extensively
