It's unlikely you'll be able to do this in China unless you have a Chinese spouse.

Have you considered Thailand? It would be considerably cheaper and easier than going to China.

Well for starters China doesn't do a retirement visa so unless you're married to a Chinese citizen or are willing to invest huge sums into the Chinese economy you're unlikely to qualify for a permanent visa so it's a bit of a non-starter already.

Thailand on the other hand has a specific retirement visa and the cost of living is lower than China. If you're looking for some sun and sand Thailand would be a better bet.

Google "retiring in Thailand", there's plenty of information available.

Thailand also has better medical care than Shenzhen, fwiw.

Or start a thread in the Thailand section on here. Plenty of folks in Thailand who can advise re retirement. I doubt you'd get medical insurance for any existing condition in Thailand so you'll need to factor in the cost for private med expense.

The Chinese authorities do not want foreigners settling in their country. Simple.
