Background In 1979, the Chinese government introduced the one-child policy, which legally prevents couples from having more than one child, though there are some exemptions.

Campaign In April 2010, a task force of approximately 600 local officials targeted 9,559 women who had violated the country's one-child polic ...

Sub-prefecture-level City
A sub-prefectural municipality (), sub-prefectural city, or vice-prefectural municipality, is an unofficial designation for a type of administrative division of China. A sub-prefectural city is officially considered to be a county-level city, but it has more power ''de facto'' because the cadres assigned to its government are one half-level higher in rank than those of an "ordinary" county-level city—though still lower than those of a prefecture-level city. While county-level cities are under the administrative jurisdiction of prefecture-level divisions, sub-prefectural cities are often (but not always) administered directly by the provincial government, with no intervening prefecture level administration.
