From Xinhua: “China will continue its population control policy in a long period to come though it has become a lowbirthrate country, the State Commission for Population and Family Planning said Wednesday.
According to statistics of the commission, the average number of children of a Chinese family has dropped from 5.8 in the early 1970s to 1.8 at present, as a result of the unremitting efforts tocarry out the family planning policy over the past three decades.”
