Affluent couples breaching China’s one-child policy – ABC News

From ABC News (link):

China’s top government advisor on population issues has called for strict measures to stop rich people from having too many children and violating the country’s “one-child” policy.

The Xinhua news agency quotes population expert Yang Kuifu as saying an increasing number of business tycoons or rich celebrities have been having two or more children in recent years.

Mr Yang, who is the vice chairman of the Committee of Population, Resources and Environment, says in addition to imposing fines, the government should adopt tough measures against affluent couples, including giving them poor credit ratings.
