There are many ethical, legal, and cultural issues with China's family-planning laws. But one of the biggest practical problems for China is how differently the laws impact the rich and the poor. The current system calls for a monetary fine for every child past the allotted quota (which is basically one child per family, though there are exceptions). Poorer families can't afford the fine, but wealthy people and celebrities in particular have flouted the law and agreed to pay the fee, which is to them a minor cost. According to state officials, this leads the rich and famous to consider themselves as "special citizens" and sets a bad example for the rest. As a response, authorities in Shaanxi Province have introduced new laws to keep the wealthy in line. According to China Daily, the new measure simultaneously increases benefits for poor families abiding by the quota and bars violators of the family-planning law from receiving any honorary titles or awards. State workers who violate the policy may lose their jobs and be dismissed from the party. - Do you believe your source? Yes. I do believe this source.
- Why or why not? I believe it because it is information that I have heard about from other websites, so I'm familiar with the ideas.
