Peng Peiyun's Legacy: Anger Over China's One-Child Policy
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
Peng Peiyun, architect of Chinas one-child policy, passes away, sparking online outrage. The policy, enforced from 1980 to 2015, led to forced abortions and sterilizations, disproportionately affecting rural areas. Chinas population dropped last year, and experts predict the decline will accelerate. Beijing now offers incentives to boost births, but the aging workforce and elder care costs pose economic challenges.
