China's ageing population is one of the biggest challenges facing the Chinese, people, government and economy in the next few decades.

In this week's video, we explore the Chinese attitude towards its retired old people and why young Chinese people are happy to care for their elderly compatriots, even as the cost of paying their pensions starts to put a squeeze on Chinese finances.

Even as China's population demographics become ever older, we also learn about why being old in China is actually really not a bad thing at all!
