Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao compared a fair distribution of social wealth to the government's social conscience in an on-line chat with netizens Saturday.

Wen said, "It must be unfair when a society's wealth is in hands of a few people, and in that case, the society must be unstable."

He said it is the government responsibility to "make the cake of social wealth as big as possible" and the government conscience to "distribute the cake in a fair way."
