China has played a key role in creating a "middle class" in developing economics. This does not, however, mean domestic demand-led economic growth by an emerging "middle class". Intolerance to income inequality has become a public concern in China because inequality in income, assets and public social services has expanded rapidly. General Secretary Xi Jinping, confronted with the problem of declines in investment efficiency and potential growth, is trying to create a "middle class" and thereby to convert the investment-led economy into a demand-led economy through "new urbanization". Although China has a large "middle class", it is characterized by a particular social consciousness in which few citizens define themselves as "middle class".
