But, many times, there are those who cross the line without even wanting to. In China, there are many real cases that others can relate to. For example, forced abortions and sterilizations. The Perspective The Meaning “What is so special and significant about the one-child policy?”, you might ask. If you think it's just a policy that limits the number of children you could have, then you're not thinking about the "big picture." Starting with its implementation in 1979, it has created a controversial topic in the decades since. This was a historic moment for China and its future depended on its outcome.
