China adjusted income distribution in 2011

We worked hard to increase the income of low-income people.

Per capita net income of rural residents in real terms registered the fastest growth since 1985, outpacing urban residents for the second straight year.

We significantly increased the minimum wage across the country.

Basic pensions for enterprise retirees increased for the seventh consecutive year, with an average increase of 1,680 yuan per person for the year, which benefited over 57 million people.

We further increased subsistence allowances for rural and urban residents and subsidies and living allowances for some entitled groups.

We instituted a mechanism to increase social aid and social security benefits when consumer prices rise.

The proportion of middle-income earners in the whole population increased.

We raised the salary threshold for personal income tax from 2,000 yuan to 3,500 yuan.

We reduced the tax burden on over nine million self-employed people.
