Industrialization has brought with itself numerous benefits and costs to China. The country went through a massive migration from rural areas to urban cities and urbanization transformed China into one of the most advanced and modern cities in the whole world. With industrialization, the country saw huge improvements in the fight against poverty, and growth in economic opportunities. Working class people now had much more opportunity to transition into a higher class such as the middle class, or maybe even further. However, the gap between the rich and the poor only grew with industrialization. The rich have boosted their net worths by incredible amounts. Therefore, the poor people could not keep up with them, and the gap widened even more.
