During China one baby policy Minorities were exempt

Description

The policy also allowed exceptions for some other groups, including ethnic minorities. Thus, the term "one-child policy" has been called a "misnomer", because for nearly 30 of the 36 years that it existed (1979–2015), about half of all parents in China faced instead a two-child limit. No. Contrary to Western expectations the Uighurs enjoy a special privilege as a minority. (above I do have a picture of a Hui family not subject to OCP). Like the other minorities, they enjoy the fastest birth rates. Common for many families to have 2 to 4 kids. China protects its minority under the constitution has has given them special privileges. We would be surprised the CCP chose to put OCP restriction on the majority Hans but not the minority ethnicities? But that is what they did. The effect of the One-Child Policy was even bigger in those provinces with a higher historical concentration of minorities. The effect was also higher among families with lower education, which makes sense given that people with lower socioeconomic status wanted to have a greater number of children. The shift was pronounced. Drawing from evidence, the paper suggested that tens of millions of individuals – including entire families – shifted from identifying as Han Chinese to an ethnic minority during the 1980s and 1990s. This tapered down by 2000, when the official system for identification became stricter. There are differing interpretations as to why Chinese citizens chose to identify as minorities. "On one hand, it could be that people were strategically claiming minority identification to circumvent the One-Child Policy," said Professor Francis-Tan. "On the other, it could be that people felt comfortable to express their true selves as the political and social environment became more accepting of minorities." China has just altered its family planning policy to no longer allow ethnic minorities to have more children The Chinese government is being accused of trying to 'exterminate Uighur culture'. Is this true? If they and other ethnic minorities were exempt from the one-child policy, is that a contradiction, or has there been a policy change? Why has China's one-child policy failed? What is the Uighur population in China? Do most people concerned about Uyghurs' rights know that that Uyghurs were not subject to the one-child policy like Han Chinese were? Can China recover from its disastrous one-child policy? Xia Xianjian（夏賢建）, lives in Beijing, China (2019-present) Answered 2 years ago No, they aren’t. Contrary to what people from outside may think.
