That's the obvious thing they'd want to do, but the thing is.. we're talking about human beings here. What are the unintended consequences of this policy? Could this cause discontent that could threaten the existence of the CCP? etc etc

We can't forget that the only reason we're in this mess is because of the success of the one child policy, but could the CCP replicate this success when it comes to nudging families to have even more burdens? I don't think so.
