China is upholding its regulations on its population, but less so now. The previous policy that families can only have one child is now gone. To replace it, there is a new policy that allows only two children for every couple. This policy is estimated to affect 100 million couples. China had said that with the one child policy, families could have a second baby if the one of the parents was an only child. However, this did not lead to the influx in population that was expected. Because of the one child policy, there is a huge population of people over 60 years old, which is expected to hurt health care and social services. The impact of China's one child policy is going to be prevalent for a long time, even if the law has been changed
