China's one child policy was established by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 to limit communist China's population growth.
The rule has been estimated to have reduced population growth in the country of 1.3 billion by as much as 300 million people over its first twenty years.
This rule has caused a disdain for female infants; abortion,neglect,abandonment,and even infanticide have been known to occur to female infants.The result of such Draconian family planning has resulted in the disparate ratio of 114 males for every 100 females among babies from birth through children four years of age.Normally,105 males are naturally born for every 100 females.
Now that millions of sibling-less people in China are now young adults in or nearing their child-bearing years,a special provision allows millions of couples to have two children legally.If a couple is composed of two people without siblings,then they may have two children of their own,thus preventing too dramatic of a population decrease.
