Couples can have a second child, when either the man or the woman was a single child. UK based Chinese writer Ma Jian suggests that relaxing the one-child policy will bring more injustice. It will bring contradictions accumulated by long-term family planning policies that will be erupy more violently. Problems brought about by China's Family Planning Policies have become more and more prominent. This includes an aging population, reduction of labor, wage inflation, withdrawal of foreign investment, as well as gender imbalances. The CCP announced during the Third Plenary Session that it will relax the one-child policy. Overseas observers think that this will only have a limited effect. Many people are calling for full liberalization of the One-Child Policy. However, the CCP did not announce the abolition of the family planning policy. UK-based Chinese writer Ma Jian, author of The Dark Road,suggests that the CCP's one-child policy has formed an interest group of over one million people. They rely on the family planning for their survival. Ma Jian: "There is a saying among people: 'The city relies on land, the township relies on belly.' It means family planning (women's belly) is an important income source to some enterprises. It is very difficult to hope that the CCP will step out of it." Ma Jian revealed that the Beijing government earned 400 million yuan last year, out of abortions. Jiangxi Province earned 320 million yuan last year. These are the figures the Family Planning department is aware of. Ma Jian concludes that about half of the family planning fines were not on the books. Farmers hand in money to family planning staff without receipts. These cases happen mostly in the countryside. Ma Jian said it is indeed difficult to abolish an industry based on abortion. Ma Jian: "The annual budget of Guangdong Dianbai County Family Planning Touring Court is 30 million yuan. How many abortions did they need to do to reach this goal?" The local government in Guan County, Shandong Province held a movement in 1991 called "100 Days without Children". For 100 days following May 10 1991, every pregnant woman had to have an abortion. The slogan was "Have an Abortion to Assure the Party". It was said twenty thousand babies were killed. Some were thrown into wells and the wells began to smell. Ma Jian said that Chinese have been trained to be slaves. A woman's womb does not belong to herself, but to the party, and is controlled by the party. Chinese people are awakening, with the outbreak of more protests. In 2007, a large-scale riot, called the Bobai Riot, took place in Guangxi. 50,000 people, furious about the high amount of family planning fines, overthrew the family planning station, and set fire to the police station. This was the largest uprising since 1989. Ma Jian thinks that loosening the One-Child Policy now, will cause explosions over long accumulated conflicts. There are about 300 million women at a childbearing age in China. According to official data, more than 100 million women went through tubal ligation and can no longer bear children. Over two hundred million women wear a contraceptive ring. Ma Jia suggests that the two hundred million women could stop contraception, and have an opportunity to bear children. Ma Jian: "Think about it. It might trigger hostile relationships between women. Some women who had their uterus cut might hate those young couples who are allowed to have a second child. They might hate others and hate society. Why was my uterus cut? Why doesn't mine belong to myself? The accumulated hatred and injustice caused by the entirety of family planning might explode." Countries around China, such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan, all encourage people having children. Japan's population is more than five times denser than China, so why does the CCP suppress child birth? Ma Jian thinks some demographers and the CCP authorities believed the population would explode. They think natural resources would be used up, without use of birth control. Population control can bring GDP increases. However, the GDP source comes from a young labor force. There are tens of millions of migrant workers in Shenzhen. Ma Jian said that China's reform and opening up was created by those outside of family planning. 《神韵》2013世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
