SHANGHAI: The government may be convinced that urban residents have more money in their pockets this year but many people in China's big cities disagree.
In a survey conducted by Huang Yong, a researcher with Horizon Research Consultancy Group, almost 80 percent of urban residents said their disposable income did not increase in the first half of 2009.
The survey appeared to contradict government figures that said the average disposable income had gone up by 11.1 percent.
