What do you mean exactly? Last I checked, there was a fine $900 - $20000 (depends on many things) for having another child, and a lot of families are actually paying this fine.

But anyway, to the subject at hand, I agree with ivionkey.
It's hard for me to say whether the one child policy is a good thing or a bad thing for China. I feel for the chinese that will never know the love of a sibling, but then again, prediction say that the chinese population would be past the 2billion mark had it not been for this policy. With over 1billion, many chinese are suffering, so you can only imagine what kind of famine and poverty would exist if it was 2billion odd!
