5) You Can’t Start A Family Unless The Government Says So

Unless the Chinese government signs the appropriate Family Planning Certificate you aren’t allowed to spawn. Obviously some accidents happen and children are born without the proper license, but they will not be considered legal.
China is worried about overpopulation, perhaps more so than most countries. But, using typical Draconian Chinese methods they are dealing with it in a pretty harsh way. China’s One-Child policy effectively rewards parents with benefits for sticking to just one baby and punishes parents with more than one child by taking those privileges away.
There are exceptions to the One-Child rule though. Some ethnic groups are exempt for instance. Also, if both parents have a dangerous job or if their first-born is disabled they are allowed to procreate again.
It’s a horrible idea, but it seems to be working. Take that as you want.
