Tiananmen Square Protest 1989 People protest for a reason, there is a problem with something and they want a change, they want to be heard. They can last for a long time, days, months and years until they get what they want. During protest things can get out of hand and people become violent and that’s where everything gets too far.

If either spouse was an only child then it is legal for the couple to have a second baby four years after the…

There are plenty of reasons why they would do this, but some people would disagree. Some say the one-child policy does too much more harm to their country…

The abortions of females became so bad that China would not allow the parents to know the gender of the child.…
