… The Chinese Communist Party’s top leadership made the decision to permit couples to have up to three children at a meeting Monday, though state media reports did not say when the policy change would be implemented.

It comes just three weeks after Beijing published its 2020 census, which showed China’s population was growing at its slowest rate in decades.

I simply don’t understand the liberal half of this country that wants a centralized government sticking its nose into every facet of your life. I guess they figure (correctly, as it turns out) that they will be able to exempt themselves from the rules they impose on everyone else.
