At 54, China’s average retirement age is too low

The government’s efforts to raise it face stiff opposition

This is why US establishment has so much fear and loathing towards China.

Imagine if Americans say, “Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! The Chinese retire at 54?”

“What’s going on here in the capitalist paradise where 70-year-olds are forced to work at Walmart?”

    To add to that, I don’t see any evidence to support the notion that social issues in countries like China have anything to do with the economic model. The reason China is more conservative when it comes to things like gender identification are cultural and historical. If western countries adopted a socialist model, then it would necessarily be rooted in western values and culture. I think liberals intentionally conflate the two things to paint the socialist model as being repressive while they portray neoliberal model as the progressive one.
