RUI’AN, China, June 4, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A couple in southern China has been fined 1.3 million yuan ($210,450 USD) for giving birth to their son’s baby sister, a record fine under the Communist country’s one-child policy.

Chinese officials reportedly calculated the fine by the wealth of the unnamed couple, who have stakes in several businesses. One report cited by Brimbank Weekly said that “the figure stunned the couple, but they paid the fine.”

Repercussions for unauthorized children in China routinely include crushing fines as well as forced abortions and sterilizations.

And this will soon be a status symbol for the wealthy in China, like having 3 kids in London or New York.

Giving birth in the US(Which is fine exempt) is far cheaper than paying $210K.

I actually welcome this. Regardless of whether one child policy is good or not. Once it is made to law it should be followed by every citizen, including powerful and rich people. Rich people should not walk away by paying the same peant fines like rural farmers do.

No, western economist envisions India overtaking China soon because of population. China is already an "old country" in terms of population aging even before it could become a developed country(thus stuck in the developing status forever), while India is a young country with a much greater potential to grow.

Nothing suprises me from a evil controlled state like China which dictates how many children one can have or how much it will pay for your land and if u disagree tough luck.

The Chinese exhibit their true nature here. I shall only pray that they open their eyes.
All parents are not the same, and it is a waste if some really gifted parents are not allowed to raise more than one child. Who knows what the second child might become ? The ability to produce a human child is natures greatest gift to humans.. infact our whole lives are based around the act of reproduction. It is so for the balanced continuity of our species, and not for balanced development of nations. Children are much closer to god than grown ups. If laws are wrong they should be opposed, that is what makes us human.. being able to think for ourselves what is right and what is wrong.

Now some will shoot back at me with "thousands of children dying everyday in India, female fetuses being destroyed, etc" ..every society has its evil and every society has its good too. Our job is to extinguish the Evil and to augment the Good, not to point fingers and merely accept everything like sheep.. even worse is to justify the wrong.

all i can say was that couple was too stupid or maybe want to show-off their wealth`?

that couple is from my town Wenzhou area, was kind of news recently```

my wife has sisters, my uncle has more than one child, my business partners have sisters and brothers and many more```

Nothing suprises me from a evil controlled state like China which dictates how many children one can have or how much it will pay for your land and if u disagree tough luck.

Huh? Are you serious? How to decide who are gifted and who are not? I have longer dong does it qualified as "gifted"? Such birth selection sounds Nazy Germany to me, is this your true nature?

I agree, one child policy is good when you have 1 billion plus people you have you take strict measures.

Maybe to India it is so，but not China。
In China，every child is gifted with the highest IQ no matter his/her parents are rich or poor, they are equal。
Chinese generally think kids from poor family are more likely to become a useful person to society。
I know those high-caste Indians do not consider low-caste and dalit as humans，they think birth control
should be implemented to those people but not them，the rich and high-caste。
Are you one of those Indians who have such a disgusting mentality？
