That graph is interesting but I think it's beside the point for this discussion. The question is not the level of income inequality but which families occupy the high status positions/accumulate the most wealth in a given society. In the case of China, 'elite' simply refers to the families that had status/wealth before the Cultural Revolution, lost it for a generation during the CR, and somehow got it back a generation afterwards.

Does anyone know what this means practically?

I think Verso Books has trotskyist origins, but the things they publish are generally non-sectarian. But I guess they retained the Trotskyist anti-stalinism in their editorial decisions
