Last night my (Chinese) wife was telling me about the recently expanded pension scheme (now all people without kids get a pension) and an expanded health scheme in China. A quote - “China's basic medical insurance and social old-age pension schemes now cover 1·35 billion people and more than 900 million people, respectively, together constituting the largest social safety net in the world. “ - Lancet. Here’s the link China through the lens of health in 2018 and beyond https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)30563-4/fulltext Meanwhile the US is at one moment introducing new healthcare schemes, then discarding them, probably at great cost and all because of politics and partisan ideological conflict.

China's basic medical insurance and social old-age pension schemes now cover 1·35 billion people and more than 900 million people, respectively, together constituting the largest social safety net in the world. Acknowledging the importance of innovation in facilitating China's economy and social transformation, the Chinese Government has increased investment in research and development at a growth rate of 11% annually. China's contribution to global health goes back to the time of the Silk Road, while the Belt and Road Initiative—Xi's foreign policy strategy—will create a new silk road for health.
