China 的阶层流动，主要在于教育--esp., before 2000。出生贫寒的有志青年，通过良好的教育，跻身于工商业管理阶层，或者是富人/bunch of old people 钦点出来的政府高官阶层，就通过为富人/old communist elites 提供服务，而获得自身的利益，然后再通过婚姻关系等等，就跻身入这个富豪/old communist elite 阶层。

First, your description also applies to China.

Not much mobility in today's China. China's social mobility is dramatically reduced in the last 10 years. Many incompetent kids became public sector employees because of bloodline.

要是这条路子一断，就是说如果将来你贫寒子弟，连混入豪门专营店的常青藤名校的机会都变少的话，那么社会乱局就迫在眉睫了。

Isn't that China, too?
