China’s ambitious 15th Five-Year Plan is set to turbocharge healthcare and social welfare, with average life expectancy projected to reach 80 years by 2028 – up from 78.2 in 2021. Irish business reporter and China-based influencer Séan Doherty calls this a "game-changer for global wellness trends."
"From AI-driven hospitals to green urban spaces, China’s investing in longevity infrastructure," Doherty told NewspaperAmigo. "It’s not just about living longer – it’s about tech-enabled quality of life." 🏥💻
The plan targets:
Expanded rural healthcare coverage
AI diagnostics in 90% of top-tier cities
Carbon-neutral retirement communities
With China’s 60+ population hitting 300 million this decade, these reforms could reshape how nations approach aging societies. As Doherty quipped: "Forget fountain of youth memes – this is policy-driven lifespan expansion." 📈👵🏽
