Guangzhou seeks public opinions on population draft

Guangdong's provincial capital is soliciting public opinions on a revised draft of its family planning regulation, which would make it easier for remarried couples and families with disabled children to have one more child.

According to the proposal, couples would be allowed to have another child under eight situations. For example, remarried couples in Guangzhou would be allowed to have one more child if one of the spouses has no children and if the other spouse has no more than two children from previous marriages.

Currently, the other spouse must have no more than one child from previous marriages.
