尽管过去30年中国国内生产总值的增长速度令人印象深刻，但中国32个省份的城乡收入和消费之间存在巨大差距，而且差距正在扩大。自1978年以来，通过追求快速城市化和出口导向战略，中国决策者似乎已经从以平等为导向的线性最优消费模型转向了城市偏向的不平等容忍非线性消费模型。除非出口导向型增长战略辅之以基于国内消费的增长政策，否则不平等问题将进一步恶化。
Huge gaps exist and are widening between the rural and urban income and consumption across 32 provinces of China despite very impressive rates of growth of GDP in the last three decades. By pursuing rapid urbanisation and export oriented strategies Chinese policy makers seem to have switched away from the equality oriented linear model of optimal consumption to urban biased inequality tolerating non-linear model of consumption since 1978. Inequality problem will worsen further unless export oriented growth strategies are accompanied by domestic consumption based growth policies.
