China makes a major announcement over relaxing family planning policy

China has further relaxed its family planning policy to allow couples to have a maximum of three children after a recent census showed its population is rapidly aging, state media Xinhua reported Monday.

“To actively respond to the aging of the population… a couple can have three children,” Xinhua said, citing a Monday meeting of China’s elite Politburo leadership committee hosted by President Xi Jinping. link
