China’s National People's Congress (NPC) passed an amendment to its Population and Family Planning Law on August 20, legitimising the recent three-child policy. The amended law was passed on the last day of the 30th session of the Standing Committee of the 13th NPC in Beijing. The amendment removes restrictions related to childbirth, including a fee that families were required to pay if they violated the previous family planning policy by giving birth to more than two children.
