With more than 1.3 billion people, China must think of a solution and find ways to deal with the population explosion. To have control over the population, in 1970, a policy called China's One Child Policy was introduced. Mingliang argues that “China, through the one-child policy, has instituted the most aggressive and comprehensive population policy in the world” (1). This policy limits all ROC families to having only one child, regardless of gender: However, within this policy there are some exceptions. It is possible to have two children only if the first child is born with a disability, if the parents work in a high-risk job, if the couple lives in villages or if the family is not Han, otherwise it is allowed to have only one child. In China, if a family denies this policy, they are penalized by the government. According to Bluett, “these families are given heavy fines and increased taxes and no longer receive free healthcare because challenging the one-child policy is considered a criminal act” (2). This policy is still effective today and has changed the lives of the Chinese people in many ways. China's one-child policy should change because with the implementation of this policy, China has faced a significant gender imbalance, as well as violating basic human rights. As a result, this policy also has its positive side effects, such as reducing poverty and pushing the government to do more for women's rights. As a result of the implementation of the policy, China is facing a gender imbalance. Nowadays, Chinese boys are much more numerous than Chinese girls. As Li, Yi, and Zhang illustrate, “the one-child policy produced approximately 7.0 additional males per 100 females from 1991-2005… half of the paper… the one-child policy: The Chinese solution.
