| 摘 要： | OPINION Looking Beyond Polarization Recently, the debate on where there is polarization between the rich and the poor in China has resurged. Is there in fact a chasm between haves and havenots? Theoretically, when the poor become poorer and the rich richer, the answer to that question is a resounding yes. Although less than 3 percent of the total Chinese population still live in abject poverty, most Chinese economists agree that the disparity between the rich and the poor has widened since the mid-1990s. They also predict that the gap is unlikely to narrow in the near future.
