The PRC has a larger middle class than the entire population of the US. But yeah they do need to do more, conditions for the lowest workers are still unacceptably poor, despite improvements.
It has a population of about 1.3 billion - 0.4 billion = 0.9 billion.
And that 0.9 billion ain’t 30:70 upper vs. working class.
And of those 400,000,000 who are middle class - that comes with very long work hours and a huge level of stress. Maybe Capitalism with US Characteristics has that level of stress, competition, and grindset too. I’m European, so to me - the middle class of China seems overworked and stressed.
