‘We saw this coming’: citizens react to China increasing its retirement age
==========
China's government announced an increase in the retirement age effective January 1, 2025; this policy aims to address the challenges of an ageing population and pension fund sustainability; in 2023, about half of China's provincial regions reported pension fund surpluses, with only four regions – Guangdong, Beijing, Jiangsu, and Anhui – contributing over 10 billion yuan (US$1.4 billion) each; local residents expressed their views on the policy change.
