A new two-child policy was fully implemented today after the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18 Communist Party of China. Now, all Chinese couples can have two children. The policy was put in place in order to deal with China’s current aging population.
The new policy could add 3 million to 8 million births every year, according to Huang Wenzheng, a demographer at Johns Hopkins University. Huang predicted that China will see 5 million births in the year 2017.

one child policy is redundant. milk powder prices ensure that the poor have zero registered children.
