Three for minorities? Aren’t they all Chinese (I’m aware that isn’t a completely uniform demographic)? And don’t the Chinese traditionally look down on foreigners?

Some groups like the Urgurs and other minorities in Western China are allowed three children. Except Tibetans, who are allowed just one, unless they’re married to a Chinese (usually male). Then it’s two.

Very interesting. I bet that if the Uighur community provides a haven for signficant Islamist terrorism this would be a policy subject to revision.

And, one for Tibet is incredibly harsh, and must be part of their policy to slowly obliterate the distinctive Tibetan culture.
