Chinese-style modernization is with the characteristic of a vast number of population. Currently, China is in a crucial transition period from aging before getting rich to gradually getting rich and aging rapidly, and experiences significant shifts towards super aging and longevity with various health statuses. However, despite the emerging demand for extensive long-term care, the long-term care system of China is still in an initial stage, which do not align with the new situations, tasks, and requirements under Chinese-style modernization. In response to these issues, an international conference named International Experience and China’s Development: International Conference on Innovation in Long-term Care Public Policies Theories and Practices will be hosted by Shandong University, organized by the School of Political Science and Public Administration of Shandong University, in collaboration with the Qingdao Medical Insurance Bureau and Laboratory for Population Big Data and Policy Simulation at Zhejiang University. This conference aims to focus on the forward-looking direction of optimizing public policies for long-term care in China. We would like to combine global innovative practices in long-term care, promote global academic research leadership, and international academic discourse influence to support the national strategy of actively responding to a population aging in China.
