Top issues with Chinese citizens: inflation, rich-poor gap, corruption, pollution (water #4, air #5)

[pampango]

The Chinese public is increasingly concerned about the quality of the country’s air and water after a year in which China experienced numerous high-profile environmental problems.

Meanwhile, even though most Chinese have rated their national economic situation positively in recent years, there are also widespread concerns about the side effects of economic growth, such as rising prices and the gap between rich and poor.

And, more than half (53%) describe political corruption as a very big problem – an issue highlighted most recently by the trial of former Chongqing Communist Party boss Bo Xilai.
