China becomes an aging society in a pace much faster than other countries because of its one-child policy implemented since 1980. This chapter examines the current situation of population aging in China, the government policies and regulations surrounding elderly care, and the experiences of other Asian and Oceanian countries in dealing with population aging. The rapid population aging poses severe challenges for the elderly care in China, which has not established an adequate social security system, but it also provides abundant opportunities for enterprises and entrepreneurs in the aging industry from other Asian and Oceanian countries as well as China. China can learn from the experiences of industrialized Asian and Oceanian countries and regions in developing its elderly care industry.

The problem of emotional stability of citizens 65+ is sharply expressed in the context of a pandemic and forced self-isolation. The restrictions introduced in connection with the quarantine for coronavirus infection reduced social activity and reduced the possibility of receiving face-to-face psychological assistance for people aged 65 and over. Most of those elderly aged 65+, who had few contacts with loved ones and society earlier, before the pandemic, have become even more alienated from active social life. For social organizations that provide assistance to the elderly, it is necessary to formulate programs and provide certain services for implementation, helping to overcome the current situation in society and not being limited to the delivery of food and medicine. Emotional instability in the elderly should be overcome by a timely set of rehabilitation measures, regular examinations by a general practitioner and, if necessary, by doctors of other specialties.
