As China´s economy progresses, the gap between the rich and the poor has become wider. This is certainly one of the reasons that causes discontent among its people, especially the less privilleged and poor. That´s why you see the rise of Foxconn suicides, the attacks on school children etc.China must make conscious efforts to bridge this gap, by taxing the rich , by developing the rural areas so that the poor do not migrate to the cities, providing incentives to make them stay in the rural areas, by practising family planning so that people keep to small families, by providing schools,hospitals in the rural poor areas.China has a huge population. China should not practice capitalist policies the way the Americans do, otherwise there will be more discontent among the people, the rich-poor gap will be worse. There must be some form of government control in the economic system to ensure that this gap is checked all the time.
