How many Kids can people in CHINA have?

Question

Because we were talking about today in spanish class and well my teacher said is 1 ...but then this boy said if u have 2 boys you can have alot. So what is the exact number or what is the policy?

Answer 1

You may have 2

Answer 2

One, at least for the next few years.

If you have twins, or triplets, etc.. that is okay.

There are some exceptions:

China.org.cn: Thirty years have passed since China introduced family planning policy. What is the country's population situation like today?

Zhao: After 30 years of efforts, exponential population growth has been effectively controlled, and some 300 million births have been prevented. Under undeveloped economic circumstances and in a relatively short period of time, the country has realized a remarkably low birth rate.

China.org.cn: Since the nation’s high birth rate has been checked and the population growth rate has been reduced, is there any possibility the current policy may become more flexible and allow each couple to have two children?

Zhao: First, I'd like to explain China's family planning policy. China's family planning policy is not the "one child policy" as understood by some people. The government advocates each couple to have one child in accordance with the family planning policy. However, any couple facing genuine difficulties, mainly those in rural areas whose first child is a girl, can apply for the birth of second child by going through the necessary formalities. If couples in urban areas are both the product of a one child family they are entitled to produce a second child. Besides, the policies in ethnic minority areas are actually more flexible. Since specific birth policies are set by each province according to local circumstances, the conditions vary from province to province and from city to city. Even within one province, different areas may have different circumstances. Within a single area, different ethnic minority groups may also be subject to different policies.

Answer 3

well, if u manage to give birth to 10 babies all at once (and keep all alive), then you will end up with 10 children.

anyway, for most families, 1child; if both the parents are only children, then 2.  

and if u r rich enoughto pay the fine, you can have as many as you want.

Answer 4

Usually it's one, though some regions of China are exempt from the rule, or have their own unique restrictions.
