问题     China will pay dearly if it does not act to build up an old-age social security system (社保体系), as its population aged 80 or above will hit 83 million by 2050, a population expert, Ma Li, has warned.
    China formally became an aged society in 2000, when the population aged 60 or above accounted for 10 percent of its 1.3 billion people.
    With an annual growth rate of 3.7 percent, China’s population aged 80 or above will reach 22 million by 2020. and 83 million by 2050, according to Ma, a deputy (代表) to the 11th National People’s Congress (NPC).
    In contrast to developed countries, China entered the aged society while it is still a developing country.
    "China is not yet ready for the aged society. It does not have a complete old-aged social security system.There are not enough resources. Fiscal (财政) support is scarce. And the risk is ever rising," said Ma.
    The lawmaker said China must act now to set up an old-age social security system that covers both rural and urban population.
    Such a system should be based on the care of the old people by their families, backed-up by community-level services networks and with old folks homes as a supplement, he said.
    Ma also stressed that China has the capacity to do that, as its economic structures and level of urbanization are well beyond the stage at which developed countries began to establish old-age social security systems for their rural populations. [br] According to Ma, China has entered the aged society but has not _____.
选项 A、set up any social organization for the issue
B、investigated the situation of the aging population
C、built a complete old-aged social security system
