China’s top economic planner is to lead a reform in income distribution, approved by the State Council. The National Development and Reform Commission, or NDRC, will head an inter-ministry joint conference regime to help push forward the reform. The focus will be on studying major issues in income distribution, and drafting relevant policies. The aim is to establish a reasonable and orderly income distribution regime, and to narrow the wealth gap. Other government bodies such as the ministries of human resources, civil affairs and finance are also participating.
