China Reports Network removed the article from its website in response to the severe backlash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the editorial being deleted, people shared screenshots of the piece millions of times on Chinese social media network Weibo and raised their concerns,\u201d Britain\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Independent <\/em>newspaper&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sg.news.yahoo.com\/communist-party-members-china-obliged-123515801.html\">noted<\/a> on December 10.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The U.K.\u2019s <em>Guardian<\/em> newspaper published one such reaction to the&nbsp;China Reports Network editorial on December 9.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the three-child policy has come out, many people don\u2019t have the conditions, ability, money or time to take care of children, especially for women, who have to go home early, and this will make more companies not want to hire women,\u201d the comment, written and posted to social media by an unidentified person, read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShouldn\u2019t society be balanced in development?

China\u2019s federal government eased the policy in 2016, allowing couples to have up to two children, and again in May, encouraging three-child families after China\u2019s fertility rate dropped to just 1.3 children per woman in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Chinese state-run news site published, then deleted, an editorial in recent days that argued every Chinese Communist Party (CCP) member should have three children to help reverse China\u2019s declining &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1108977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1108977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1108977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1108977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1108977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
