Sure, but I don't have a reason to believe that the Chinese are so uniquely libertarian in culture as to collectively lean towards diminishing the role of government in preventing old people from ignominiously dying of sickness and starvation.

Show me the popular movement in China that demands, "Get the government out of social security! Offload more of the cost of caring for my parents onto me!"

rofl as though Communist China didn't aspire to an "iron rice bowl" guaranteed by the government, prior to the market reforms.
