My take would be that they weren't starving because they were poor, they were starving because there was no food to be had. Starvation in a famine is different from starvation in a land of plenty where you simply can't afford food.

If there was no food, the entire population of China would've died.

In the case of a famine, it's still the haves and the have-nots.
