Population aging has become a common prospect and challenge for many countries. The aging trend in China is characterized by its large scale，rapid progress，“getting old before getting rich”，tendency of increasing proportion of people over 80，and regional and urban-rural imbalances. There is no precedent to follow in the world in terms of China’s aging process and economic development trends. This is not only an enormous challenge for China’s social and economic development，but also an opportunity for development. It is imperative for China to explore a healthy aging path with Chinese characteristics to achieve sustainable development，in which process China might be able to share its wisdom and experience to other countries.
