"Helping the elderly" insurance
扶老人险 (fúlǎorén xiǎn)
"Helping the elderly" insurance became available for purchase on Alibaba's payment platform Alipay recently. The insurance costs 3 yuan a year ($0.47) and pays up to 20,000 yuan to cover legal fees should the insured be involved in a dispute over whether they provided assistance to a senior citizen after a fall or were the cause of the fall. Within three days more than 26,000 people had bought the insurance, which has provoked heated public debate.
