'Reuters reports:
"A court in China's southern boomtown of Shenzhen has fined a couple 780,000 yuan($94,250) and sealed off their house for having more than one child, the Beijing Morning Post said Monday. "The pair were among nine couples who were fined 'social fostering fees' for their extra children, the newspaper said. They had their first boy in 1997 and last year had twin boys, the newspaper said."

The above is, of course, the country which currently enjoys "Permanent Normal Trading Relations" with the United States. '
