The things the high-up party members say make me so angry. “The stall economy isn’t appropriate for first-tier cities,” or stalls are “unhygienic and uncivilized.” It's the street vendors and small shops that are the life of a city, not yet-another LV location.
China's Premier Li Keqiang became the unlikely person to poke holes in the Communist Party’s grand narrative of success by saying that 600 million Chinese earn $140 a month & by calling for the jobless to become street vendors.

Democracy is difficult and indisputably imperfect. Yet, I can clearly see there will soon be a clash of cultures between China and other nations because frankly, you can't maintain an Orwellian, authoritarian plutocracy indefinitely. Or support it without being tainted.

Not that unlikely. Chinese Premiers have often had a role which involves sympathising with the common people. But does it mean they are going to act?

Major of them also have basic insurance. So if they don't want to increase life quality, everything is perfect. How to encourage and transfer them into higher income class is a challenge. Many of them are in the stage of urbanization. Now the jobless is a threat of this movement.

1/ As in pretty much every socialist country (even one with "Chinese characteristics"), the gap between rich and poor is enormous in China. However, even more than in the US, the gap in China (I think) is much more an urban/rural divide, and it is far more stark.
