Some Disregard One-Child Policy in China
Thursday May 10, 2007
The BBC reports that as personal income rises among the elite in China, those families are beginning to disregard the One Child Law and are willing to pay the fines and other costs associated with more than one child. In fact, a survey found that among the elite, 10% of families had three children!

China’s population growth is about 0.6% per annum. To achieve zero population growth the demographers tell us we need 2.2 children per family. If that be so then many Chinese must be ignoring the two child policy, or China is experiencing massive immigration. Given the rural nature of Chinese I can understand why farmers etc. need more children in order to survive.
Having spent 25 days in China in 06, I believe unlimited births would lead to the squarlor of India. It is a very sane and humane law. Many other countries should have this law. The world had 1 billion people in 1830. 6 billion in 2006. Half go to bed hungry every night–this is insane. John Varner
When we talk about limiting to one or even two child(ren), we are talking forced sterilization, abortions or infanticide to enforce such a heartless law. The very GOD who said “be fruitful and multiply” knew and knows what the earth can sustain. It is only man’s sinful greed and hate for neighbors which causes starvation. By the way if India would stop feeding worshiped rats grain intended for people or grab one of those Big Macs on the hoof (cows)and feed starving people. It’s not the number of people that is the problem, it is the use of our resources and how we related to each other.
ilove eggs
im a big tree who loves eggs also i love u sandra!!! eggs eggs egss
I agree with Mike. I don’t agree with any law that has anything to do with population control. There are a lot of rich people in this world, and they could definitely chip in to make sure half the world wasn’t starving if they weren’t so selfish.
i think they should get rid of that policy because they still have many solutions to that overpopulation thing…………they can have family planning that wouldn’t include the one-child policy………………………
