China and the United States have nearly the same income inequality according to the measurement of the GINI coefficient. The Gini coefficient (also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio) is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income distribution of a nation’s residents.
China 46-48 (both the CIA and World Bank measure about the same levels of income inequality) United States 45-47
Some analysts consider any number higher than 40 as a warning sign of potential unrest.
