[Leica] IMGS: Temple of Heaven

[Nathan Wajsman]

Which sounds reasonable. In any event, such early retirement ages are not sustainable in aging societies like China is now. Either they will need to raise the retirement ages to something in the 65-70 range, or cut benefits drastically.

Cheers,
Nathan
