<br/><br/> "In a country that professes a historical record dating back five millennia, the rise of China's middle class has occurred in scarcely the blink of an eye, and its emergence is one of the most rapid social transformations in human history. The creation of this middle class of up to 100 million has unleased large-scale economic, social and cultural change unparalleled since the 1949 founding of the People's Republic and, in the view of many Chinese, signals the onset of a permanent transformation of China into a modern society." (NEWSDAY) This article discusses China's "expanding middle class, which is now redefining the very shape of urban Chinese culture.".
