China ends its decades long one-child policy

Can you imagine if we had such a policy here? A controversial policy which was introduced nationally back in 1979 in China to curtail population growth rate has now ended.  All couples in China can now have two children as the country's ruling Communist party announced an ease of family planning restrictions...

It is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births. However concerns at China's ageing population led to pressure for change.
Couples who violated the one-child policy faced a variety of punishments, from fines and the loss of employment to forced abortions.
