Associated with this low level of consumption is widening inequality – between the countryside and the cities, and between the political elites and the masses. University graduates with rising aspirations cannot find the office jobs that they seek and will not accept the factory jobs that they are offered.
与如此低水平的消费相伴而生的是日益恶化的不平等性——既存在于城乡之间，也存在于政治精英和普罗大众之间。心高气傲的大学毕业生无法找到中意的白领工作，又不愿意接受录用他们的蓝领职位。社会动荡——不论是在博客上表达不满还是大规模示威——愈演愈烈。
