At 54, China’s average retirement age is too low

The government’s efforts to raise it face stiff opposition

This is why US establishment has so much fear and loathing towards China.

Imagine if Americans say, “Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! The Chinese retire at 54?”

“What’s going on here in the capitalist paradise where 70-year-olds are forced to work at Walmart?”

    54 sounds wild man. I’m allowed to retire at 67 and my current employer the Union is at least fixing my retirement plan for me. Unfortunately many people aren’t that lucky and have to live of meager pensions after working for 40+ years.

    This is how you get thanked in our glorious Western capitalist paradise. You work your ass of for decades and afterwards you can fuck off and preferably die quickly.
