Discussion Regarding the Peoples Republic of China
China has used the terms "voluntary" and "flexibility" related to delayed retirement for the first time ever in the resolution it adopted at the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
"To actively respond to population aging, we will refine the policies and mechanisms for developing elderly care programs and industries," according to the resolution published yesterday. "We will develop the silver economy and support the creation of diverse jobs tailored to elderly people.
"In line with the principle of voluntary participation with appropriate flexibility, we will advance reform to gradually raise the statutory retirement age in a prudent and orderly manner," the resolution noted.

On the one hand there is the phenomena where old people stop working and die within a short few years of retirement as they lose sense of self as a worker, routine, socialisation etc. so I can see this kind of argument being put forward under a capitalist society (in socialist society they would not be lonely shut-ins!)
On the other hand this is an indictment of CPC.

China is one of the countries with the lowest retirement ages of 50 to 55 years old for female and 60 for male workers. When workers reach the statutory age, they are forced to retire, with their employers having the legal power to terminate their contracts.
Against the backdrop of an aging population, China proposed a scheme in 2015 to gradually increase the statutory retirement age for both female and male workers to 65 years old by 2045. But no changes to the existing retirement policy have been introduced so far.
China wouldn't have an aging population if it were not for the Dengtards. Mao considered it's population precious and the new populations able to meet challegnesRedC wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 8:23 pm "To actively respond to population aging, we will refine the policies and mechanisms for developing elderly care programs and industries," according to the resolution published yesterday.

https://www.marxists.org/reference/arch ... wv4_70.htmBasing itself on the truth that revolution plus production can solve the problem of feeding the population, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has issued orders to Party organizations and the People's Liberation Army throughout the country not to dismiss but to retain all former Kuomintang personnel, provided they can make themselves useful and are not confirmed reactionaries or notorious scoundrels.

Of all things in the world, people are the most precious. Under the leadership of the Communist Party, as long as there are people, every kind of miracle can be performed. We are refuters of Acheson's counter-revolutionary theory. We believe that revolution can change everything, and that before long there will arise a new China with a big population and a great wealth of products, where life will be abundant and culture will flourish. All pessimistic views are utterly groundless.
I wrote this article which touches on the One Child Policy a while back. The supremacy of the One Child Policy shows China is ruled by vicious eugenicists that would attack their own people in the way they have done.
