    Damn I had no idea. My in-laws were considering to move to China (they’re originally from HK) and I had assumed it’s because the healthcare/elderly care was better there than in Canada, but maybe not?

      I should specify I am referring to mainland China. Hong Kong has a different health care systems, and the health care is usually considered reasonably affordable for residents (could be because people in Hong Kong are generally more wealthy than most of mainland China)

      I want to add China’s healthcare is still reasonably affordable for many people living and working in cities.
