Mao: Two major causes of the gap between rich and poor in China

BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua irrepressible Liu Yang) this afternoon, the famous economist Mao visiting the Forum of the power of the Internet, to the income distribution reform and common prosperity for the topic of online communication with netizens. A netizen "Jungle stroll" asked, China's income distribution is mainly reflected in what aspects of inequality?　　What is the cause? Mao replied that there are many reasons for the unfair distribution of income, the main reason is the market. The market puts the person's opportunity, the person's ability, the person's activity scope, causes the income difference to be obvious exposes, in the planned economy time did not have the market, is capable, cannot dry, takes the money to be similar. Now with the market, the difference is seen, I think the market is a major reason. There are other reasons: non-market income, such as corruption, drug trafficking, and all kinds of non market income also lead to a widening income gap.　　Generally speaking, the market income can be tolerated, intolerant of non-market, by power, the reason for the income gap in China, I am afraid that the reason for the market is higher than other countries, although the market is the main reason, other countries are not market reasons, our country relatively more.　　There is a netizen "embarrassed no God" asked, our political books on the old said that the rich after the lead, but now is the first rich richer, after the rich not only not rich, but more poor, this is how to return? I don't agree with that, Mao said. Our situation is that after the rich are certainly not rich, but better than in the past, there are a lot of data to prove. Our reform success, we can now eat, reform is not enough to eat food, winter without shoes to wear. It is an objective fact that this situation is largely gone and the poorest part of the world has improved. But, indeed, the first rich people are very fast, why would this be caused? I have just said that the gap between the rich and the poor two reasons, one is caused by the market, one is not the market.
