i Cake theory is a metaphor about economic development and the redistribution of wealth in the political discourse of China. If economic development is seen as analogous to baking a cake, one side of the debate suggests that development should focus on dividing the cake more fairly, while the other says development should be focused on baking a bigger cake.

The image is from a cake mix by Betty Crocker, a brand of the U.S. company General Mills.
