China is growing smaller and older.

I think this is interesting.

What is odd, why is their retirement age so low? 🤷‍♂️

It gave no details, but the government has been debating raising the official retirement ages of 60 for men, 55 for white-collar female workers and 50 for blue-collar female workers.

Most industrial nations it's at least above 62 for both men and women. And even then most are talking about raising their retirement age. Some as high as 70.
