China allows couples to have three children: Report May 30, 2021 at 09:56PM

China has relaxed its family planning policy to allow couples to have a maximum of three children after a census showed its population is rapidly ageing, state media Xinhua reported Monday. For almost 40 years, China enforced a controversial "one-child policy" which was lifted in 2016 due to widespread concerns over an ageing workforce and economic stagnation.
