K-shaped means the bottom half (or some large threshold) is getting poorer. China's bottom half appears to have rapidly growing real wages, while the top is growing faster. Most western bottom halves were fine with this arrangement, until their real wages stopped growing in the 70-80s.

I'm not super happy with either scenario but there's a reason the majority was okay with it for decades. That was the whole deal in the New Deal.
