China will allow two children for every couple, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported Thursday, a move that would effectively dismantle the remnants of the country's one-child policy that had been eased in recent years.

中国政府官方资讯机构新华社周四报导，中国将全面放开二胎政策，每对夫妻均可生育二胎。近年来，独生子女政策渐见宽松，而这一举措意味着独生子女时代的彻底结束。

China, now a nation of more than 1.3 billion people, instituted a policy of one child per couple to control population growth in the 1970s. When its propaganda didn't work, local officials resorted to abortions, heavy fines and forced sterilization.

中国现在人口超过13亿，自上世纪70年代，为控制人口增长，开始实行独生子女政策。当时，为实现计划生育的指标，但宣传工作不到位，当地官员会采取引产、巨额罚款以及强制绝育的手段。

The decision to end the restriction followed a four-day strategy meeting of senior Communist Party officials at a Beijing hotel, cnn's David McKenzie said.

结束生育限制是党内高层在北京某宾馆召开为期4天的战略会议后决定的，cnn大卫报导。

China began relaxing the controversial policy in January 2017, allowing couples to have a second baby if the mother or father was an only child.
