This is an ongoing topic. Click here for Most Recent Post A video from Time. Three interesting case studies, one who has never been able to register until she was 23 year old and couldn't even buy train tickets, another who was finally able to register without a humongous fine, and a third where the father wants more children, but his wife does not, due to the government regulations. The Legacy of China’s One-Child Policy The video is in the article, or may be viewed here: http://c.brightcove.com/services/mobile/streaming/index/rendition.m3u8?assetId=5245033689001&pubId=293884104&videoId=5245006509001

An ongoing topic - click here for Most Recent Post or click here for other topics tagged - one child policy BBC; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34665539 Statistically limiting to two children will result in slowing and reversing population growth due to deaths prior to childbearing due to disease and accidents, as well as many choosing to have one or no children. It is also more fair for those who want their child to have a brother/sister as well as those who had a child die and want to have another, or got pregnant by accident.

This is nothing new - I remember a conversation on CFL a few years back about IUD's that had been in place for more than a few years Forced contraception

in the SCMP. In her own words, how one girl benefited from the one-child policy, in spite of being given away by her parents. How one-child policy plucked a girl from China to US and gave her undreamt-of opportunities In her own words, Ricki Mudd tells how she was removed from her home in Zhejiang province, adopted by an American couple and given opportunities she couldn't have enjoyed in China. Better still, she now has two families.

Me and my mate would like to produce a child together. We live in Wuhan, Hubei, PRC. I am an American, she is Chinese. She has a Chinese child from a previous marriage. So this would be her second child. What is the official policy about this? Can she have a child with me in marriage without penalty?

Planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days. http://www.financialpost.com/story.html?id=2314438 {edit} Corrected typo in topic title. "Chin'a" to "China's"

It's on HBO tonight - for those of you with cable. Gives a pretty good perspective about what 'one child' is all about, in addition to covering the main topic of Stolen Children sold to 'other parents'. Check yer local listings - It's on both East and West HBO tonight.

Even if they lift this policy, I don't think most would start having big families again, except in the countryside. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080228/lf_nm_...a_population_dc

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. There's still 1.3 billion people and with that population comes a lot of problems due simply to the massive population.

Just thinking aloud, I wonder if the one-child policy will lead to more sino-american relationships such as we have here. I know we have a growing number of American women who have chosen a Chinese husband. With the one child policy 20+ years old, it means there is starting to be a noticable imbalance in the number of males to females. I wonder if there won't be a point where Chinese men will actively seek out foreign brides. There simply won't be enough single women for them to marry. (yes, I watched yet another documentary - lol) Merc

Is anybody familiar with the realities of the official Chinese "one child policy" the reason I ask is that there are two kids in wifes brothers family, who have recently completed their member by member immigration to New York. How could this happen? They all lived in Taishan city, (fairly modern) and had jobs etc. An internet search basically resulted in information that if a second child is conceived, it is forcefully aborted by the govt, unless the family lives in a very rural "unmonitored" area, What gives here? I dont want to create a ruckus or hard feelings by trying to ask them. I am beginning to have suspicions that my wife may have been the birth mother of the seven year old girl. It sure would explain alot of things.
