economic inequality 贫富悬殊

Second punch of American bashing, this time coming from a Canadian news article quoting United Nations statistics. The Vancouver Sun reported several American cities have economic inequality levels similar to those of developing countries. For folks interested in social determinants of health, this might also be the entry point to look at population health with regard to economic inequality. I am quite upset, on the other hand, to find out my beloved hometown of Hong Kong is the most economically bifurcating city in Asia, something that I would not brag about!
另一方面,北京竟然成为名单上经济最平等的城市。虽然我不认同北京的贫富悬殊比其他地方好,但是我想中国人应该觉得自豪,因为若果咱们能够减低贫富之间的差距,对中国长远的发展是有稳定的作用。
