Rising Inequality = Social Unrest?

Rising inequality is often attributed to the many social unrests that China has to tackle recently. But is this the only reason for the spike of social unrests?

Could the increase simply be due to a more open government that is willing to share news of ongoing unrests? Or rather, due to more areas in China being more accessible to foreign journalists?

Could it also be due to people that are more aware of their rights as citizens? Or simply as an act to reject the current norms of interactions between the government and its people?
