( The iron hand with the Communist govern...)Chinese Take Fertility Drugs to Beat One Child Policy,Health

The iron hand with the Communist government in China is implementing family planning policies is often held up as a striking example of administrative efficiency.

Well the element of coercion may be forgiven when they are seeking to contain a population exploding beyond relentlessly. The riots against punitive measures reported last week was an indication of how insensitively things are being done over there. Worse, the Chinese citizens are virtually ruining their lives in an attempt to beat the policy.

But life has not been easy for them since. Their small farm does not bring in much money. They have had to give Ying Ying to a relative because they cannot afford to raise all five children on their own.
