China's middle class

China’s middle class is a growing segment of urban residents who have developed stable income levels, typically ranging from moderate to higher income earners, enabling better access to education, healthcare, and consumer goods. They often enjoy improved living standards, increased savings, and a higher quality of life compared to earlier generations. This group is influential in shaping consumer markets and societal trends, reflecting China’s rapid economic development over the past few decades. While definitions vary, the middle class usually signifies a level of economic security and lifestyle that distinguishes them from lower-income groups, contributing significantly to the country’s economic and social dynamics.
