He called for improvements to policy frameworks, service guarantee systems, supervision and management structures, and social participation mechanisms. The aim is to implement a proactive national strategy for addressing population aging and to enhance the quality of social assistance, welfare, community affairs, and governance. Ultimately, these efforts are meant to support the people’s needs by doing good, solving practical issues, and contributing significantly to the comprehensive modernization and national rejuvenation of China.
