A Chinese mother proudly poses her apprehensive twin sons for a foreign visitor's camera on a sidewalk in Shanghai in the People's Republic of China (PRC), East Asia. Twins were an allowable exception to China's "one-child rule" that began in 1978 as part of a family planning policy to control the nation's surging population growth. In 2015 it was announced that two children per couple will be allowed in the future. Because baby boys are favored over girls, there are millions more males than women in mainland China.
