Seniors safeguarded against children's financial demands

A new law in Anhui province aims to prevent adult children from relying on their unwilling parents for endless financial support.

In China, children who rely on their parents' savings to enjoy carefree and comfortable lifestyles are known as kenlaozu, a word that translates as "people who devour the elderly".

The Anhui regulation, introduced by the provincial people's congress, will take effect in March.
