China has eased up somewhat and is putting out more benign messages to get across the importance of its one-child policy. Among the older slogans, a few stand out:
- "Raise fewer babies but more piggies"
- "Houses toppled, cows confiscated, if abortion demand rejected"
- "One more baby means one more tomb."
Realizing that these may strike some as trite, they have opted for a more modish approach. Here are some of the refurbished ones:
- "The mother earth is too tired to sustain more children"
- "Both boys and girls are parents' hearts."
