The ethical debates about the one-child policy in China are:

A. The one-child policy was a birth planning policy of China. Distinct from the family planning policies of most other countries (which focus on providing contraceptive options to help parents have the number of children they want), it set a limit on the number of children parents could have, the world’s most extreme example of population planning.
B. It was introduced in 1979 (after a decade long two-child policy), modified in the mid-1980s to allow rural parents a second child if the first was a daughter, and then lasted three more decades before being eliminated near the end of 2015. The policy also allowed exceptions for some other groups, including ethnic minorities.
C. According to the Chinese government, 400 million births were prevented, starting from 1970 a decade before the start of the one child policy. 76% of Chinese people said that they supported the policy in a 2008 survey, although it was controversial outside of China.
D. In October 2015, the Chinese government announced that no family would be limited to just one child, although as of today it still has a two-child policy.
