In the past 10 years, the Gini coefficient of China & prime USA has remained above 0.4. What problem does this reflect?

The income gap between residents is large.

The maximum value of Gini coefficient is "1" and the minimum value is "0". The closer the Gini coefficient is to 0, the more equal the income distribution is. International practice regards income below 0.2 as absolute average, and 0.2-0.3 as relative average; 0.3-0.4 is considered as a relatively reasonable income; 0.4-0.5 is considered as a large income gap, and when the Danquigny coefficient reaches above 0.5, it means income disparity.
