China one-child policy to end

[Romanos]

(CNN)China will allow two children for every couple, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported Thursday, a move that would effectively dismantle the remnants of the country's one-child policy that had been eased in recent years.

"To promote a balanced growth of population, China will continue to uphold the basic national policy of population control and improve its strategy on population development," Xinhua reported, citing a communique issued by the ruling Communist Party. "China will fully implement the policy of 'one couple, two children' in a proactive response to the issue of an aging population."

I remember reading how the parents would want a male child so the baby girls would be slaughtered since they could only have one child.

I remember reading how the parents would want a male child so the baby girls would be slaughtered since they could only have one child.

I remember hearing and reading this too. It caused an imbalance in the ratio of men to women, with women being too few for all of the men to have wives. So this change is good.
