China’s One-Child Policy There are around 318 million people in just the United States alone.

old one-child policy, implemented after the rule of Mao Zedong. Since the population is 1.3 billion, we should not expect to see a lot of changes. Steven Jiang, a sociologist, said that the policy will affect 100 million couples and it is likely that twenty-three million more births will occur under the new policy.
