China Unveils New Two-Child Policy

Starting January 1, 2016, Chinese couples will be allowed to have two children. Chinese lawmakers unveiled the new law, which ends the long-standing one-child policy, during a session of the National People's Congress Standing Committee. The policy is largely seen as an attempt to assist with the country's aging population problem; but human rights activists say it doesn't go far enough in liberating potential parents from government control.

India should follow  :-[

Interesting development. But of course "human rights activists" seem to ignore that much of China is over-populated...so...

This is great news for chinese couples although it might lead to some kind of over population as the time passes. I read somewhere that when the one child policy remained only rich people could have more than one child by bribing social workers.

Overpopulation in a few decades I guess. However with this law, the rich are no longer in advantage. Now everyone can have 2 kids! I guess it's logical to allow this as there are a bunch of seniors in China. We have to replace them somehow.

...but what about their feet?
