										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Xi Jinping put China&#8217;s wealthiest citizens on notice Tuesday, offering an outline for &#8220;common prosperity&#8221; that includes income regulation and redistribution, according to state media reports.</p>
<p>Since Xi took office in 2012, the ruling party has made it a priority to end poverty and build a moderately prosperous society, goals that the party sees as central to promoting well-being and strengthening its governance. Income inequality in the country is wide &#8212; the richest 20% earn more than 10 times poorest 20% &#8212; and hasn&#8217;t budged since 2015.</p>
<p>Beijing has undertaken massive efforts to reduce poverty, especially in rural areas. More recently, its taken aim at the upper end of the spectrum, with a crackdown on the technology industry, which has minted several billionaires, and criticism of the excesses of celebrity culture.</p>
