Unfortunately the One Child Policy IS a "bad"thing. This policy affects most of the country and is contributing to a huge gender imbalance that China hasn't even begun to deal with, that could lead to a whole lot more problems. The women are forcibly sterilized and given abortions. I have seen people personally affected by this policy, from those that have been forced to give up their children, through either infanticide or abandonment. I have also seen the children affected by this, the country's orphanages are full of the little girls and special needs kids (by special needs I mean nothing more than an extra finger or cleft lip)! Since the families can only have one child, they tend to want the perfectly healthy little boys.
I am sad to find out that the country has also now made a "One Dog Policy". Unfortunately, I am sure, this will lead to many dogs tragically dying.
