It's fascinating to me how quickly China went from "one child only" to "we'll pay you to have children"
They do tend to make huge, self destructive decisions on policy, don't they? I'm reminded of the famine mao caused by ordering all those sparrows killed, without understanding that the sparrows were keeping the harmful insects in check.
