Yes that is true, if you have a second child you pay fines. I believe they are pretty hefty fines. Thousands of dollars. Isn't that a shame, not being able to have more than one child? Also they have a high orphan rate for females, they prefer to have boys because they feel they are more productive! yeah right????

The term "one-child policy" is based on a popular misconception that the birth control policy of the PRC requires all couples in mainland China to have no more than one child. In reality, though having one child has been promoted as an ideal and the limit has been strongly enforced in urban areas, the actual implementation varies from location to location. In most rural areas, families are allowed to have two children, if the first child is female. Second children are subject to birth spacing (usually 3 or 4 years). Additional children result in fines, or more frequently the families are required to pay economic penalties, and cannot receive bonuses from the birth control program. Some children who are in one-child families pay less than the children in other families. In contemporary China however (2005,2006), some exceptions to the rules are said to exist in major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. For example, two "only child" parents may have more than one child; and two parents with university Masters degrees may have more than one child.

Yes if you have more than 1 child you pay a fine of $500-$1,000.00 per additional child and if you can't pay that than the Chinese government takes the child away and puts it in an orphanage. By the way most girls born in China go into orphanages and put up for adoption.

Yes, it is true that China only allows each couple one child. Penalties like fines and forced sterilization may be carried out if a second or subsequent child is born.
However I think they're changing this rule whereby in special cases, some couples are allowed 2 children.

particular, it somewhat is genuine. it somewhat is extremely verifiable in case you carry out a little word seek interior the internet. i'm sorry i can't do it for you at present. My classmate interior the college, a girl from a suburb of Shanghai, China, instructed us in college that the coverage maintains to be in rigidity, and maximum stringently accomplished interior the cities and massive cities. for some years, the only-baby coverage replaced into only as strictly utilized in rural aspects, notwithstanding if agriculture has a tendency to be exertions-in intensity and regardless of the decrease inhabitants densities in those aspects. lacking mothers, suspected of being pregnant, have been hunted down, and if got here across pregnant, compelled to have an abortion. as a effect, the inhabitants advance value according to twelve months in China has dramatically plunged to a splash extra suitable than a million%. extra, the government has had to grapple with the sociological phenomenon of the "little emperors" interior the family individuals. think of a baby, the only considered one of his or her parents, who would additionally be the lone grandchild of grandparents of the two aspects. that baby is companies to be spoiled thoroughly, and develops character issues. in spite of the undeniable fact that, there are projections that until eventually China reverses the coverage, it would see its inhabitants decline markedly in 50 years. Social welfare and an getting previous inhabitants may be issues too interior the forseeable destiny. that's what you get while government interferes coercively interior the determination of couples what number toddlers they % to have. How might you like that throughout your guy or woman usa?
