Too bad you don't research facts....

First one, courtesy of Wikipedia.... " The term one-child policy is thus a misnomer, because for nearly 30 of the 36 years that it existed (1979–2015) about half of all parents in China were allowed to have a second child. "

The US hasn't had a birthrate of 2.5 since 1967.
