      abstract = {"High-income" households in China had per-capita  disposable incomes of just $2,637 during 2003, but their  ownership of consumer durable goods suggests a standard of  living putting them in the "middle class." Their  expenditures on food away from home were sharply higher  than those of other urban households. Quantities of  beverages, dairy products, and poultry products purchased  for at-home consumption were also significantly higher, but  purchases of most other food products were only marginally  higher. Higher per-unit expenditures for most items reflect  greater demand for quality by high-income households.},
