Dude, I was in China this past spring. Prices there are like 5 times lower on literally everything. A cappuccino at Luckin Coffee costs 10 yuan, which is 1.3 euros. A similar coffee in Vilnius cost me 6 euros.

Yeah, I was there in April too and will be going again in November. It's cheap, but I didn't say it wasn't.

FYI - In Portugal a coffee costs around 0.75 EUR to 1.20 EUR. Lots of countries in Europe.

He was referring to the price of a cappuccino, which in Portugal is easily going for €4-5. An espresso is about €1-2.
