It’s about time?
Today, China officially announced the end of the one-child policy.
According to the Chinese government, the infamous one-child policy is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births since 1979.
The new policy implemented today allows couples to have 2 children. The relaxation of family planning rules is mainly due to the ageeing population. Even though, it is an important step toward change, the Communist Party of China continues disregarding human rights:
“The state has no business regulating how many children people have,” said William Nee, a Hong Kong-based activist for Amnesty International.
But the human toll has been immense, with forced sterilisations, infanticide and sex selective abortions that have caused a dramatic gender imbalance that means millions of men will never find female partners.

This birth control policy was and is the most authoritative policy ever implemented a the level of such vast country. The origins of this rule have been a heated subject of debate. In the People’s Republic of China, 13 million abortions are carried out every year.
