Is it true that China allows only one child per couple?

I need to know for a essay, if it is really true that China only allows one child for each family? Does any one have any info or a link that describes the China鈥檚 Maternal and Infant Health Care Law in Laymans terms? For any one that can answer, thank you in advance.Is it true that China allows only one child per couple?Generally speaking, it is true. But there are some exceptions:

If the kid is handicapped, another one is allowed;

if both parents are only child of their families, another one is allowed;

if both parents are of minority ethnics, another one is allowed;

There are other exceptions too, but a third one is not allowed under all circurmstances.

This is due to the limited resources (such as land and water ) and too many people - 1.3 billions. The country would collapse if each family had two or more children. It is necessary for this country to survive.

The corresponding laws are written in Chinese, may not be helpful if you do not understand Chinese.Is it true that China allows only one child per couple?Yes it's true. This website explains the law in depth:
