Is China Fair? The Surprising Truth About Outcome vs. Opportunity Justice

Meng Tianguang

In this eye-opening video, we dive into a landmark 2012 study by Meng Tianguang, based on the 2009 Chinese Citizen Values Survey. Discover how over 58% of Chinese citizens actually feel positive about income distribution, but the real shocker is the gap between outcome fairness (who gets what) and opportunity fairness (who can rise). We break down why the rich think it's fair, the educated feel trapped, and urban workers are the most critical. This isn't just about China—it's about how we all judge fairness in a changing world. Watch to understand the hidden psychology of inequality and what it means for society.
