Over the 33 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries have transcended differences in ideology and social systems, actively promoted exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and achieved mutual success and common development.

[New Ideas Guide New Journey] Providing Heartfelt Elder Care Services to Continuously Enhance People's Well-being

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that a society's happiness largely depends on the happiness of its elderly population. As China's society ages, it is crucial to ensure that seniors have a happy retirement and to vigorously develop elderly care services and industries. Bearing in mind the General Secretary's instructions, various regions have implemented targeted policies and a series of practical measures to better meet the diverse and multi-level elderly care service needs, continuously enhancing people's well-being. Every morning, the Citizens' Service Station in Jiaxing Road Sub-district, Hongkou District, Shanghai, bustles with activity, where seniors can enjoy various daytime care services such as rehabilitation, leisure and entertainment, and lunchtime meals. In 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited this Citizens' Service Station during his inspection tour in Shanghai. The General Secretary noted that China has entered an aging society, and it is our common wish to ensure that seniors are provided for, live happily, and enjoy good health and longevity. Following the General Secretary's instructions, Jiaxing Road Sub-district has now established two Citizens' Service Stations, covering all 29 residential communities, and Shanghai's urban areas have achieved full coverage of "15-minute elderly care service circles." This year, Shanghai will add 3,000 new elderly care beds and 30 new rural elder care homes. The population aged 60 and above in China now exceeds 300 million, and ensuring a happy retirement for seniors has always been a deep concern for General Secretary Xi Jinping. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to actively respond to population aging and improve the development of elderly care services and industries. At this year's "Two Sessions," General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed the importance of doing more practical work to strengthen fundamental, inclusive, and basic livelihood construction and address the urgent concerns of the people. From the "Opinions on Deepening the Reform and Development of Elderly Care Services" issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to the inclusion of vigorously developing the silver economy as one of the key tasks for the year in the government work report, China's multi-tiered, inclusive, accessible, urban-rural encompassing, and continuously developing elderly care service system is accelerating its construction and becoming increasingly robust. Community-supported home-based elderly care is being promoted, and service levels are continuously improving. This year, Hunan continues to build "open-ended" nursing homes, establishing more "small but exquisite" elderly care service centers in communities. Currently, Hunan has over 8,500 community home-based elderly care service centers. Liaoning is accelerating the popularization of smart elderly care. The smart community comprehensive service platform in Shenyang's Mudan Community has a dedicated smart elderly care module that provides convenient services such as health monitoring, emergency calls, and daily care appointments for seniors in the community. The development of rural elderly care services is being accelerated. This year, Jiangxi is fully promoting the construction of rural "Happiness Courtyards," which can regularly provide meals, daytime care, and cultural and entertainment services for rural seniors. Currently, over 880 "Happiness Courtyards" have been built across the province. The silver economy is being vigorously developed. In Hebei, age-friendly renovations are progressing steadily. This year, Hebei is subsidizing six types of age-friendly products and will support free home-based age-friendly renovations for 10,000 households of seniors with special difficulties. Meanwhile, diversified elderly care service offerings, such as "silver-hair" special trains and health-preserving tourism, are continuously expanding. From January to May this year, over 600 "silver-hair" tourist trains were operated across the country, an increase of more than 20% year-on-year. It is expected that by 2027, China will have designed over 100 high-quality "silver-hair" railway tourism routes, and the number of "silver-hair" tourist trains operated will reach over 2,500. According to the plan, by 2029, China's elderly care service network will be largely completed, with continuously optimized basic elderly care services; by 2035, the elderly care service network will be more robust, all seniors will enjoy basic elderly care services, and an elderly care service system suitable for China's national conditions will be mature and finalized.
