Rich Chinese

On the rich and middle class in China, Mr. Mao Yushi

words out of the new tactics: to redefine what is rich, the claim is as follows:

In my opinion, is a relatively affluent population concept. My definition of rich is relative to the poor farmers, urban residents in the bottom, contains the most current prototype of the city already has high-level white-collar middle class, rentier class, legitimate business of small and medium business owners, as well as some freelance persons, such as the famous painter, artist, freelance writer and so on. I think the number of these people although the relative number is not much, but the absolute number is very small. Sit refute the target, that is, those elite class, and which are not included in this definition. And I also believe that Mr. Mao Yushi of the

So, I find the dirty old man's words:

first that I am here to say the rich do not include corruption, theft, abuse of power, the pursuit of those ill-gotten wealth people, but to be honest to get rich, especially rich entrepreneurs set up businesses and entrepreneurs.

Obviously, casual people seems to be that of the point that Mao did not include the man's wealthy elite, because, in general, powerful, also equivalent to the derogatory term of loose definition of the rich people will definitely not equivalent to the definition of Mr. Yu Maolao, because the definition of casual people than the existing definition of dirty old man to expand, there are narrow, and expand by: persons, such as the famous painter, artist, freelance writer, etc. other

visible, San Mao the man's own people and the rich meaning of the intersection is and the only However, the bulk of them were not explicitly included in their rich bosses camp, can subconsciously believe that wealthy people are powerful it? However, at least in the IT upstart Ding Lei Zhang body, this definition is obviously not true, the definition of casual flawed rich people here.

as I understand it, the rich, is a quantitative concept, refers to the wealth of the people living in the top, how wide the top of the program to both, but both the top and side, I thought up to 10%. And if this measure, both the dirty old man or a loose definition of who is problematic. Dirty old man's problem is that 10% of the wealthy in the course include

and scattered human problem lies, other than the 10% he will be tough, the wealthy middle class that Mr. Led Zeppelin immediately claimed for the proletariat. Take this short and those who may not be hi red envelopes, but on the other hand, he cut out, those who teach entrepreneurs especially those of low intensity (lower power for money by the lower gray) who, immediately to the landless shelter, and said he is now powerful, perhaps a macro to go bankrupt, and that is not it, can be scattered in the classification of people, and not for a dedicated position.

embarrassment of such a classification, only one reason in my opinion, that is, the existence of economic power. I remember when the early start of reform, small government, constitutional democracy, market economy, the future. However, this dream has not come true, go to the last 15 years, and encounter Ye Hao, education, health care industry Ye Hao, in the ideological field can not put Ye Hao, out of 30 years of reform, we have a third course world, there are the other private and foreign investment, but we also retained direct control of nearly half of the field by the powers: basic industries, ESCH. . . . . . Such a hybrid forms, the concept of social stratification from the West such as the middle class and the like, is difficult to correspond to the Chinese, for example, as we say in the middle, all inevitably say to the said a senior white-collar general advertising company in Beijing, will copy the meter than a monopoly is more middle-class employees of state enterprises, it is still unknown yet.

So in my understanding, there is no way China's current social stratification according to Western theory, if forced to be divided, we must take into account the double power and market factors, points out, this estimate is the following kinds of jigsaw trend:


descendants of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries of the winners (both officials and businessmen)

; ministerial-level officials (including state-owned enterprises and institutions at the same level executives)
; ; hundreds of millions of Rich
above the division level officials (including state-owned enterprises and institutions at the same level executives)
; ; ; multi-millionaire, art celebrities
; section-level officials (including state-owned enterprises and institutions at the same level executives)
; ; ; number of one million small business owners, high income exceeding 50 million white-collar

Clerks (including state-owned enterprises and institutions at the same level executives Clerks)
; ; ; 10-50 million senior white-collar workers, one million small business owners
general clerical
5-10 million people in low-level white-collar workers, specialized households, small employers (the latter two income may be higher)

; ; contract system of urban working people
; ; workers
; ; farming farmers

The above image also if I am not too far off the mark with the reality of the case, it is clear that the upper should be drawn in the multi-millionaire and is now above, divided into three layers:
the last: the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries of successful offspring (both officials and businessmen)
upper middle: the Ministry of level officials (including state-owned enterprises and institutions at the same level executives)
; billionaire
down: division level and above (including Office) officials (including state-owned enterprises and institutions at the same level executives)
; multi-millionaire, art celebrities
; ;
should be in the middle in the general clerical and low-level white-collar workers or more, divided into three layers:
in the: Division level officials (including state-owned enterprises and institutions at the same level executives)
the number of one million small business owners, senior white-collar income exceeding 50 million in the
: Clerks ( state-owned enterprises and institutions with the same level executives Clerks)
10-50 million senior white-collar workers, one million small business owners
lower: General clerical staff
5 - 10 million in low-level white-collar workers, specialized households, small employers (the latter two income may be higher)

natural, the rest is lower, and I think that this division should be more realistic, if so, may will be introduced to several conclusions, first, China's middle class may be greater than expected, because it contains both inside and outside the system, the number should be a lot of money; Second, China's top of the resources, even greater than imagined ; natural, Third, China could be the lower of the East, but also to be less than imagined.

As this classification would come out of what the meaning of the other more, until I looked back, and then as District Office:)

above classification, inspired by the End of the World Old ID wind strange are hereby acknowledged.
