Nowadays, China is constructing Socialism Harmonious Society. Rural-urban coordinated development is the necessary request of constructing a harmonious society. In this paper, we examine Chinas regional income inequality and its evolution based on a set of data on Rural Per Capita net Income and Urban Per Capita disposable Income in Chinese prefecture. We apply two different approaches decomposition method of the Theil index to analyze the evolution of rural-urban income inequalities, rural-rural income inequalities and urban-urban income inequalities. The Trellis Plot shows that the rural-urban inequalities increase rapidly in recent years while the rural-rural inequalities still decrease. We find that the rural-urban income inequalities account for the main share of the total inequality. This work may help Chinese government to make the urban-rural development policy.
