    This article discusses China's income distribution gap. It also relates to the methods used and the dishonesty China has presented previously. Philosophically, there should be no income gap because of the basic concepts of communism, but this is not the case.

    This is a very interesting article about how Chinese economists are going to raise the value of the yuan. It seems that there are outreaching effects in the United States - the exports from China will raise in price and therefore Americans' disposable income will start to decrease.
