Even though China has strictly implemented its one child policy for years, at least in Hunan province you can have more children if you’re rich. From People’s Daily:
A central China province where almost 2,000 officials and celebrities have been exposed for breaking the country’s family planning laws is to raise fines on wealthy couples who have unauthorized children.
The Standing Committee of Hunan Provincial People’s Congress, the local legislative body, adopted an amendment of local family planning regulations on Saturday, which imposes a standard fine equal to two to six times the offenders’ incomes for the previous year.
Offenders will be fined three times their annual income — on top of the standard fine — for each child after the first unauthorized birth. Those who had an illegitimate child would face an additional fine six to eight times of the income of the previous year, according to the amendment.[Full Text]
