China＇s　rapid　aging　has　caused　widespread　concern,　but　it　seems　that　the　situations　and　consequences　of　rapid　aging　are　not　adequately　acknowledged.　This　study　analyzed　the　problem　of　ageing　in　China　from　the　aspects　of　elderly　people＇s　health　status,　income　source,　daily　care,　suicide,　the　weak　social　security　system　in　terms　of　pension,　health　expenses,　and　long-term　care　costs　as　well　as　incoming　accelerating　ageing　process　in　China.　All　these　factors　indicate　that　it　is　difficult　for　China　to　afford　the　issue　of　a　rapidly　aging　population.
