From The Wall Street Journal:
“This is a historic moment signaling the complete end of the one-child policy,” said
Wang Feng, a demographer at [UCI and] Fudan University in Shanghai. … It wasn’t fully
clear how many births were likely to result from the policy shift announced Thursday.
“A million or two additional births in the next couple years is the most one can anticipate,”
said Mr. Wang.
