A tale of two Covid-19 patients in China

The wildly different lifestyles of two Covid-19 patients published by China’s contact tracing officials has sparked a debate about the wealth gap President Xi Jinping’s common prosperity campaign aims to narrow.

Users on China’s Twitter-like Weibo platform began comparing their schedules, with a hashtag detailing the migrant worker’s routine achieving nearly 20-million views by early Thursday. Some called on the government to address hardships endured by society’s poorest citizens, while others said inequality was too deeply ingrained in Chinese society to be eradicated.

Xi’s common prosperity campaign has put addressing income equality at the heart of China’s economic goals, leading to regulators targeting some of the nation’s most successful private enterprises. China’s richest 20% still earn more than 10 times the poorest 20%, a wider gap than in the US or European countries such as Germany and France, and more than 600-million people — about half of China’s population — live on an annual income of 12,000 yuan or less.

Earlier this week, officials in Tianjin said they’d worked with online stores to secure daily supplies of necessities for residents, the Tianjin Evening News reported, after videos circulated of migrant workers complaining they couldn’t access food during the port city’s recent Covid-19 outbreak.
