Chinese government is in high spirit to retain the population of the country under control. For this purpose, it is not in mood to spare its own people who have violated the most debatable ‘family planning policy’ — the one-child-per-family policy. To bring over all development and prosperity in the country, Beijing government has behaved in an extraordinary way and expelled 500 people from the Communist Party.
This expulsion can ruin the political career of these people. Presently, Communist Party is ruling China and treating its members like this will create unrest and instability among party workers. China’s 1.3 billion people comprise the 20 percent of the world’s total has started one-child-per-family policy in the late 1970s. This rule allowed one urban family to have one child and rural family, two children, if the first child is girl.
Chinese government had not even hesitated to use controversial procedures like forced abortions or sterilizations to checking its growing population. In recent years, China has been the fastest growing major nation for the past quarter of a century and created many rich urban families that have been able to afford the requisite fines for having second child.
In the Chinese culture, it is important for the family to have a son. A son brings honor to his parents, and eternity is passed on through sons. That’s why couples who can afford to pay fines are choosing to ignore the policy and have bigger families.
But, we can’t ignore the fact that China also experienced great difficulty in supplying quality education, high quality health care facilities to such a vast population. So, government should try to find out a way that can also satisfy the feeling of its people by improving social and economic circumstances at all levels.
