# China's GDP Growth and "Trickle-Down Wealth": A Closer Look As China's economy continues to grow, so does the country's wealth divide. In recent years, the number of China's billionaires has skyrocketed, while estimates from the Hurun Wealth Report suggest that only a small percentage of the population control most of the country's wealth. The gulf between the rich and the poor in China has become a central topic for policymakers and economists alike. According to the latest "Hurun Report," 600 million Chinese households with assets are experiencing a slowdown. Over the past year, the proportion of "rich households" with assets above RMB6 million dropped 0.8 percent to 514 million. Similarly, the number of "high net worth households" with assets above RMB10 million fell 1.3 percent to 1.816 million. But while the number of wealthy Chinese may be shrinking, the nation's collective wealth continues to grow. In fact, some estimates suggest that the 21 million Chinese households predicted to "trickle down" their wealth to the next generation will control RMB210 trillion by 2030.
