China is moving to end its one-child policy, mostly in response to the issue of an aging population.  Stateside in California, Rep. Judy Chu, D-El Monte was happy about the news. "I am glad that China is lifting the one-child policy. . . . I know that there are so many families in China who yearned for more than one child."      news

For a wild boar in a China shop?  ---wandering into a children's clothing store in Hong Kong isn't a dream afternoon.  The knocking stuff over and broken display cases made it less than a dream afternoon for the shop owners as well.  Until the tranquilizer gun arrives, it's all rather a big deal.   news story
