介绍:
A: Honey, our neighbor told me a family in China is allowed to have only one baby, is that true?
B: Well, generally, yep. It's a basic state policy
for China. We call it"family planning”.
A: But why? Isn't that a little inhumane?
B: Look, sweetie, China has the largest population around the world. So our government has to take some measures to control it.
A: Like what?
B: Er. it arouses the people's awareness of the birth control. Say, if you don' t want a baby, or you want it later, you should take some contraceptives or use condoms Or after you give birth to a baby, you can have a birth-control surgery, like ligation, or placing an intrauterine ring.
A: That sounds horrible.
B:Well, it's just an option.
A: So, basically, every couple can only bear one child, right?
B: Not exactly. Mostly. There're some exceptions. Say, if the couple are both only children, they can have one more.
A: What about us? I'm a foreigner
B: Well, I'm not sure. Maybe we need to consult the local Family Planning Office.
