A comment on Chinese Demography. Parent comment
Let me rephrase that so it's clearer:
"in China. Children MUST take care of their parents 100% FINANCIALLY in old age."
Because of the former one-child policy, that means you're it.
This is a problem for the Chinese military and police, because if you're a one-child, you're very risk averse.
This is seen in Chinese police allowing people to drown instead of even getting their feet wet.
