An autonomous region in China has started allowing couples to have up to four children, if certain conditions are met, in an attempt by the regional government to boost the population in some local communities that were previously abiding by the three-child limit.
On March 24, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regional People’s Congress passed a new amendment to the region’s “Population and Family Planning Law.” It stipulates that couples who already have three children can have a fourth child if both the husband and wife’s places of residence are registered in counties along the China-Vietnam border.
