Peasants fight China's abominable one-child policy.(Brief article)
According to reports carried by the BBC, Chinese peasants, possibly in the thousands, have rioted in response to a crackdown by officials on families that, in Beijing's eyes, have too many children. In a now long-standing policy, China's communist rulers allow urban families to have only one child while rural peasants are allowed two--if the first child is a girl.
According to the report, in Guangxi Province in Southwest China, just to the north of Vietnam, officials recently began levying fines against rural families with more than two children. If the families lacked the means to pay, officials confiscated property. "The farmers were really angry because the family planning team was going around to homes and making farmers pay fines if they had too many kids," a local resident told reporters. "If the farmers had no money they took things from them."
