“…In fact, China has already shown its capability of advancing successfully in many other sectors. This trend is partly due to the latecomer advantage of developing countries acquiring and updating technologies and systems from advanced high-income countries [68]. Today, China is expanding on the LTCI market abroad and can extract the best elements of LTCI systems used elsewhere.…”

Until the 1980s, institutional elder care was virtually unknown in China. In a few decades, China had to construct a universal social safety net and assure basic elderly care. China’s government has been facing several challenges: the eroding traditional family care, the funding to assure care services for the older population, as well as the shortage of care delivery services and nursing staff. This paper examines China’s Five-Year Policy Plans from 1994 to 2020. Our narrative review analysis focuses on six main topics revealed in these policies: care infrastructure, community involvement, home-based care, filial piety, active aging and elder industry. Based on this analysis, we identified several successive and often simultaneously strategic steps that China introduced to contend with the aging challenge. In Western countries, elder care policies have been shifting to the home care approach. China introduced home care as the elder care cornerstone and encouraged the revival of the filial piety tradition. Although China has a unique approach, the care policies for the aged population in China and Western countries are converging by emphasizing home-based care, informal care and healthy aging.

“…However, large scale private companies arguably owe some of their success to finding commercial opportunities that are in harmony with China's development strategy. Lin and Shen (2018) have argued that the strategy of supporting state enterprises in key sectors did indeed help to maintain a steady path of growth, something that many countries of Eastern Europe which adopted rapid market liberalisation and mass privatisation were unable to achieve. However, in their view the large SOE's now have achieved an organisational capital that will allow them to compete nationally and even globally without public support.…”
