According to the Epoch Times, the gap between the rich and poor in China is widening. In addition, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao states that the situation is very complex. It looks like there’s a lot of work to do. I hope they fix it soon.

At the same time, let’s locate the lower to middle class so we can offer them products and services they need. In honor of Expo 2010’s slogan ‘Better City – Better Life’, here’s a glimpse of some geocoded Shanghai income demographics and points of interests (banks and convenience stores). Instead of waiting around for China to fix its government monopolies, let’s work on getting the right products and services in the hands of their target customers no matter rich or poor.
