1 Way to Pray for China this Week
Since the late 1970s, China has implemented and enforced a strict one-child policy. Created amidst fears of overpopulation, the family planning policies of the national government have long been a source of debate, criticism, and pride alternately. Without a doubt, the one-child policy has left a tremendous mark on Chinese society and values.
Last week, the government announced the shift to a two-child policy. Indications of the move had been growing in recent years as the government made tweaks and adjustments to the policy. Reaction has been mixed and many families have indicated that they continue to prefer one child despite the policy change. Whatever the implications, the policy change is a landmark move.
