In the part of China, you mentioned that China is a developing country, so its government cannot provide any system of care to the elders. As a result, they have to stay with their children.

In America, developed countries, the government can take care of them, but why do they still need their children's care?

why do you think children's care is more than necessary to their parents and should become a responsibility.

You'd better strengthen your argument in order to get that conclusion.
