China’s middle-class consumers are buying more coffee and alcohol than the national average and living “busier” and “more stressful” lives, according to a new survey.
In the Core Economically Active Population Survey, 73.5 percent of China’s middle class agreed that their lives are increasingly busy, compared with 62.1 percent of the national average.
A total of 59.5 percent of middle-class respondents agreed that “too many things in life make me feel very stressed,” higher than the average of 56.7 percent.
