Houston Community News >> Report Shows Over 100 Million Chinese Without Siblings
7/14/2008 BEIJING -- China now has more
than 100 million people with no siblings since introducing rules in the

The 100 million-plus only children make up about 8 percent of China's population, Xinhua News Agency reported, citing information from a weekend forum hosted by the Shanghai Population Welfare Charity Fund.
