In the afternoon of March 11, Li Keqiang said at a press conference that China’s aging population already has 260 million people and the aging industry is a huge sunrise industry. Netizens said that a clear signal has been put forward: don’t look for the government anymore for old age in the future, but solve it by yourself and let social industries provide services.
According to the official media of the Communist Party of China, on the afternoon of March 11, after the closing of the fourth session of the 13th National People’s Congress, Li Keqiang attended a press conference in the Great Hall of the People and answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists, saying: China’s aging population has 260 million people, and the aging industry is a huge sunrise industry, which brings diversified needs. Such a vast market in China will certainly create more opportunities for foreign companies to provide products and services and even investment.
A mainland netizen posted on Weibo expressing his utter disappointment: “Go to a nursing Home for the elderly! Children are too tired nowadays, a couple has to manage four old people and their own children, they really can’t manage it!”
“Since ‘old age cannot depend on the government’ and the era of ‘Parents raising their children, children raising their children’ has become obsolete, learn a phrase from the recent movie Nezha: your own old age to raise yourself.”
There are also netizens said, “a little hit the elderly moneybags.”
According to the official media, the Office of the National Working Committee on Aging released data saying that from 1999, when the population entered the aging society to 2018, China’s elderly population increased by 118 million, becoming the only country in the world with an elderly population of more than 200 million. By 2050, China’s elderly population may exceed 30% of the total population.
