China scrapped its decades-old one-child policy in 2016, replacing it with a two-child limit which has failed to lead to a sustained upsurge in births. The cost of raising children in cities has deterred many Chinese couples. The latest move was approved by President Xi Jinping at a meeting of top Communist Party officials." BBC News

Told through powerful firsthand stories, the fight for freedom in Hong Kong raises urgent questions about rights, identity, and the cost of resisting authoritarian rule. https://www.izzit.org/lessons/lesson.php?lesson=escaping_hong_kong | izzitEDU
