China's Fujian to Set up Charity for Aged

South China's Fujian Province will set up a charity society to aid the elderly, a source with the provincial committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) said Saturday.

The idea was first raised by some CPPCC members of Hong Kong and Macao last year at a CPPCC annual session, the source said.

Their suggestion pointed out that as Chinese society is aging at a rapid rate, it is necessary for the relevant authorities to provide better care for the elderly.
