As China’s population ages rapidly, how is digital technology changing the way elder care works?
What does the Chinese party-state mean by "smart care", and how is it used not just as a welfare solution, but as part of a broader economic strategy? And where does this approach fall short?
In this talk, Dr. Christina Maags (Senior Lecturer at University of Sheffield) looks at how digital elder care is reshaping the relationship between the state, technology, and welfare, revealing both its promises and its risks

在中國快速老化的社會裡，科技如何轉變長照服務？
中國黨國政府推動的「智慧照護」，如何不只是作為一種福利體制之解方，而是被納入更宏觀的經濟發展策略之中？而這樣的作法，又存在哪些現實上的限制？
本場講座邀請到 University of Sheffield 東亞研究學院 Christina Maags 副教授，她將從福利國家轉型的角度出發，帶我們一起理解「智慧長照」背後，科技如何重塑公共政策與福利，同時揭示其效益與風險
