Abstract

‘Community Care for the Elderly in Urban China: Myth or Reality’ was the title suggested originally for this book. It should have been chosen, as it would have provided a more accurate reflection of the book's contents. The focus is very much on urban China and there is no attempt to discuss issues of ‘Chinese culture’ in the wider context of Hong Kong, Taiwan, the ethnic Chinese communities of South East Asia, or indeed those of London, Sydney or Vancouver.
