The article analyzes the general line of reforms in modern China – achievement of the welfare society, revealed the fact that a society of small welfare or “average prosperity” has already been built. The analysis of the most important indicator of national welfare - the level of nutrition of different segments of the population depending on income is given. It is shown that the nutrition level of the most affluent exceeded the saturation level. The volume and quality of nutrition of the low-income population borders on saturation of the primary physiological needs. While maintaining the current level of income differentiation, a further increase in general welfare is likely to slow down. An increase in the average per capita GNP by the middle of the 21st century to the level of medium developed countries will make it possible to increase general welfare above the average prosperous.
