Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: On October 31st, 2015, the official Xinhua news agency reported that China would allow two children for every couple. That meant that the country's one-child policy came to an end. To control the population growth, China started a policy of one child per couple in the 1970s. Why does China decide to relax the policy now? In fact, China began relaxing the policy in January, 2014, allowing couples to have a second baby if the mother or father was an only child. The change was thought as a major liberalization of the family planning of over thirty years. But new figures in January, 2015 suggested that fewer people than expected would like to have a second baby. Health officials said that there were about 11 million couples under the new policy. However, only 1 million couples applied to have a second child. Some couples said, "Two kids? Thanks but no." The influence of one-child policy seems hard to go in a short time.
