China joyfully received good news from both space and the bottom of the ocean yesterday. If we want to keep on  increasing our power, from a demographic perspective, we should first, encourage giving birth until fertility reaches the replacement level in order to reserve the capacity to develop; second, gradually extend the retirement age to reduce social burden; third, enhance the population quality and explore our current and available human resources.

@醉听松涛:It will be ideal if the population can maintain a balance between birth and death. From the perspective of health and physical power, we have full condition to extend the retirement age; however, we should create more employment opportunities and not be affected by the payment capacity of social insurance.

@罪恶计生006:Can you propose a suggestion to the National People's Congress to support the abolishment of the family planning policy?

@还权于民3:There's no way to extend the retirement age unless the double-standard retirement system comes to an end!
