does reproduce class inequity pretty similar to what the US has.
china was focusing on eradicating extreme poverty first, it's only now that they're actually starting to focus on reducing inequality
that said, i'd say the situation is very different since even with a very bad health care system every chinese still has their basic needs covered; even with rising housing prices, the majority of chinese outright own their homes, including 70% of millennials (which is a huge stat imo); they live with better infrastructure, and so on
all of these are part of what being "working class" means, so i don't think they're comparable situations, especially given that even today america is like 5 times richer
