China's One Child Policy

Hi Rumor Queen,

Have you seen this article about China phasing out the one-child policy in low population provinces?

I haven’t seen that particular article, but this is not new, they started doing this years ago. Areas with negative population growth have had very relaxed rules for a long time – at least six or seven years, maybe more. Areas with uncontrolled population growth still have very tight rules.

Most provinces allow for more than one child if both parents are an only child, several have allowed it for a while if only one parent is an only child. It looks like they are making some of the relaxed rules even more official now.
