The rates change contingent on what salary bracket you fall in. In general, it can go from as low as 5% taxes to 45%.

At the moment I think China's income taxes are among the highest, possibly superseded by Japan.

To give you an idea in terms of numbers. About a year ago I was making 13,000 RMB. Post taxes, I had 11,300 RMB. I'm an expatriate, so I don't know if we get taxed more or less. I doubt there's a difference though.
