China's one-child policy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

China's one-child policy was relaxed in 2016 to allow couples from ethnic minority groups to have two children without penalty. This relaxation was aimed at promoting population growth amongst minority groups in China, and was seen as a recognition of their distinct cultural and demographic needs. However, the policy has been controversial and criticized for its impact on human rights and gender disparity in China. There have been reports of forced abortions, sterilizations, and other abuses associated with the policy. Moreover, the policy has not been applied by China across borders in Vietnam and Mongolia, though China has historically exerted influence over these regions.
