当局否认二胎政策五月实施

 　　Song Shuli is a National Health and Family Planning Commission spokesperson:

　　"This speculation¹ is without foundation. The family planning strategy should be maintained, as the size of the population puts pressure on resources, the environment, as well as economic and social development. Authorities are still assessing the implementation² of the new birth policy, to prepare changes to the family planning regulation. The initial relaxation³ is not the end, policy reform will continue."

　　The one child policy has been relaxed since late 2013, allowing couples to have a second child if at least one parent has no siblings⁴.

　　The relaxation in part aims to address the issues of the strength of the labor⁵ force and the aging population.

　　Song Shuli adds that local authorities will make adjustments to their family planning policies based on their own demographic structure.

　　In the meantime, the National Health and Family Planning Commission says a special operation is set to be carried out nationwide to crack down on surrogate pregnancies⁶, which is illegal in the country.

　　Song Shuli says a long-term mechanism⁷ is going to be established.

　　"According to our plan, the first phase of the operation will last from now until the end of this year. A long-term mechanism to crack down on surrogacy is also going to be established."

　　This move will focus its investigations⁸ on those medical institutes and medical staff, as well as social intermediary organizations that engage in surrogacy.
