There two types of laws regarding the one-child policy in China. The central government imposes a general regulation that asks the provincial governments to control their population growth within certain limits. The results will be directly related to the funding to those provinces and the promotion of the officials of the provinces. Therefore the local governments of the provinces will set up specific regulations to enforce one-child policy, including financial penalty. In general the couple who have more than one child are subjected to the fine equal to three-year household income per extra child. If you are in cities and live on salary, that will the amount you can't afford. For those peasants that's not a big deal because you can't calculate their hidden income while their norminal income is really low. That's why the one-child policy is hard to enforce in countyside. Also when the kids turn to the age for school, they need id's. You can't hold the kids hostage forever because that's not their fault. You have to give them id's after you conficate whatever is valuable in their houses if their parents fail to pay the panelty.
Lake is a ChiCom propagandist on the net.
He usually, but not always lies overtly.
He always distorts -- even if he doesn't have to.
