I think that it is true but cannot convince my chap. Please could someone tell me where I can get something I can print off to say its true.

I have just found something on internet which says you can have 1 child in urban areas and up to 2 in rural areas if the first one is a girl.

It is not a ruling more a recommendation, also those with only one child get better benefits from the government

It is true and it is China's attempt to control their rapid population growth. One problem is that the Chinese place more value on a boy than a girl so there is a tendency to only have boys by aborting a girl child. Also the rule was generally ignored in remote rural areas hence the rule about have a girl first

I am not sure on the only 1 child, but I know there is a limit. Also, boys are wanted more because of them being stronger and able to help labor more. I think, but am not 100% positive, that the child limit has a lot to do with China being overpopulated. Also it isn't an actual "law" more of a suggestion. It is kind of sad when you think about it, but if it wasn't for this rule, I wouldn't have my little sister who is adopted from China.

Yes there is. With twelve hundred million people that wouldn't seem like a bad idea! But you can tell your chap that this has recently been changed to two in some cases. So if you are thinking of moving to China...

As I understand it, when you have your first child, a man from the government comes round and pats you on the back, gives you a prize, free schooling and a certificate congratulating you on being a modern, progressive, single-child family.
If you have a second child, he comes again and takes it all back.
If you have a *third* child, he comes round and presents you with a bill...
Damn sensible, if you ask me - although it affects the poor more than the rich. But then, when you think about it, that's what it's all about.

Yes it is perfectly true. The situation of two parents and one child has given rise to the social phenomenon called "Little Emperor Syndrome". Type those words into any `search`, and read all about it !

10-4!!! Roger that!!! Control of the population is now a state responsibility. One is all you get. There are a great many Chinese children (mostly girls) up for adoption right now. Check it out for yourself.
