Evaluation:
The article is relevant to the article topic. There was not anything in particular that I found distracting as it seemed pretty straight forward. The article seems neutral as it mentioned both republican and democrat’s concerns about the census. It does seem that the authors thought that the underrepresentation of minorities was maybe a theory than an actual fact. The tone seems a little biased in that sense. It was briefly mentioned but I do think the tone does need to be changed. Although I could be biased as well. The links work, yes. But the one link I clicked on for a citation actually led me to just a general site and nothing in specific. No, the source does not support the claim as I cannot find the claim. The site does seem neutral, not biased for any reason. There are sentences as well that aren’t cited – like the success and failure paragraph. The latter half doesn’t have any citations or external links. This topic is of interest of the Wiki Projects page. The talk page is logical and actually very helpful. The users seem polite and clear to one another. They seem to give each other tips and tricks as well as correct what is wrong. The more controversial actions of the president seem to be of interest of people who want to add it into the article. It was asked to provide sources so those can be reviewed as well. Each of the Wiki project articles that this article is associated with are all rated with C Level – Low Importance and 1 with just C-Class. In class we really are trying to learn the basics about the topic so we can apply them to tests. It is stated on Wikipedia that the talk page is NOT for learning about the topic, more so about how to apply such knowledge to the article so others can read it.

Intended Contributions:
I know the Two Child Policy as been in effect for sometime now. However I also know that the times are changing in China and they are now changing the one child policy to 2 to encourage larger or more families along to discourage sex preference. I hope to somehow update the article to reflect the political and social aspects that are now prevalent in 2018. It seems as if the article has a lot of information already, however i am not sure if it reflects all the current changes in China. This topic was one that I knew would be easier for me to read and interpret. I am also hoping to find reputable information that can be contributed accurately. Hello, I am a practicing student editor from the WikiProjects class software. I noticed that most of the info from the article has not been updated since around 2015/2016. I am looking at maybe adding additional info that has been more recent as of 2018. Although I need to sort through sources, I am seeing results of how the two child policy is negatively affecting china. There are also studies of how the new 2 child policy is negatively affecting gender roles in China.  Very nice job and I like the intended contributions - Prof H

China[edit]
During the 1970s, Chinese citizens were encouraged to have only one child. The ongoing Cultural Revolution and the strain it placed on the nation were large factors. During this time, the birth rate dropped from nearly 6 children per woman to just under 3. (The colloquial term "births per woman" is usually formalized as the Total Fertility Rate (TFR), a technical term in demographic analysis meaning the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime if she were to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates through her lifetime.)

As China's youngest generation (born under the one-child policy, which first became a requirement for most couples in 1979) came of age for formation of the next generation, a single child would be left with having to provide support for his or her two parents and four grandparents. In response to this issue, by 2009 all provinces allowed couples to have two children if both parents were only children themselves. After a policy change of the Chinese government in late 2013, most Chinese provinces further relaxed the policy in 2014 by allowing families to have two children if one of the parents is an only child.

Han Chinese living in rural areas were often permitted to have two children, as exceptions existed if the first child was a daughter. Because of cases such as these, as well as urban couples who simply paid a fine (or "social maintenance fee") to have more children, the overall fertility rate of mainland China is, in fact, closer to two children per family than to one child per family (1.8). In addition, since 2012, Han Chinese in southern Xinjiang were allowed to have two children. This, along with incentives and restrictions against higher Muslim Uyghur fertility, was seen as attempt to counter the threat of Uyghur separatism.

On October 29, 2015, Xinhua reported the change in the existing law to a two-child policy citing a statement from the Communist Party of China. The new policy allowing Chinese couples to have two children was proposed in order to help address the aging issue in China. On December 27, 2015, the new law was passed in the session of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, which governs country's laws, effective from January 1, 2016.

2018 Update Wiki Project
In 2018, about two years after the new policy reform, China is facing new ramifications from the Two-Child Policy. Since the revision of the One-Child policy, 90 million woman have become eligible to have a second child. The main concern being gender-equality .The new Two-Child Policy is having negative implications on gender roles, with new expectations from females to bear more children and to abandon their careers. After the reform, China saw a short-lived boost in fertility rates, and since then has been on a decline. Chinese women gave birth to 17.2 million babies in 2015, but declined by 3.5% in 2016. Husbands still have greater martial power, thus increasing fertility pressure on their female counterpart. The dynamic of relationships (amount of "power" held by each parent), and the amount of resources each parent has contributes to the struggle for dominance. Resources would be items such as income, and health insurence. Dominance would be described as who as the final say in pregnancy, who has to resign in their career for maternal/parental leave. However, females have shown interest in a second child if the first child did not posses the desired sex. Chinese couples have also polled and stated that they would rather invest in one child opposed to two children. To add, another concern for couples would be the high costs of raising another child; China's childcare system needs to be furthered developed. The change in cultural norms appears to be having negative consequences and leads to fear of a large aging population with smaller younger generations; thus the lack of workforce to drive the economy.
