From The NYT:
“With a full year’s well-established evidence of lukewarm response following the policy

controls over people’s childbearing,” Wang Feng, a sociology professor at the University
of California, Irvine, who studies China’s family planning policies, wrote in an email.
“Young Chinese couples, unlike their parents’ generation, are much less tolerant of
the bureaucratic control and harassment,” he wrote.
