Officials in the Chinese province of Zhejiang plan to publicly name wealthy families who do not follow the country's one-child-per-family policy and pay fines to have additional children, the AP/Boston Globe reports (AP/Boston Globe, 2/8). The policy seeks to keep the country's population, now 1.3 billion, at about 1.7 billion by 2050. Ethnic minorities and farmers are the only groups legally exempt from the rule nationwide (Kaiser Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 1/24). Methods of enforcing the policy, such as fines and work demotions, vary among Chinese provinces and cities. In some areas, fines are calculated based on family income (AP/Boston Globe, 2/8). Song Xianneng -- deputy to Zhang Wenbiao, director of the Zhejiang family planning commission -- said the fine for violating the policy in the province could be as high as $130,000 in some cases. "The public is very much aware that some celebrities simply pay money to have two or more children," Zhang said, adding that the practice "must be stopped." He also said that as public figures, celebrities should set an example of compliance with the law (Xinhua News Agency, 2/7). Publicly naming couples who violate the policy could have limited effectiveness because many Chinese people consider having more than one child to be a source of high status, AFP/Manila Times reports (AFP/Manila Times, 2/10). Although a recent survey found that 60% of Chinese couples would like to have two children, the government has said there are no plans to relax the one-child policy (AP/Boston Globe, 2/8).
