China is to overhaul the sometimes threatening slogans used to enforce its one-child policy, the authorities have announced

"If you don't get sterilised, your house will be demolished".

"Kill all your family if you don't follow the rule" and, "If you escape (sterilisation), we'll hunt you down; if you want to hang yourself, we'll give you the rope".

Get the message ?

One new slogan would be: "Please get rid of the alcohol and cigarettes before you plan to be a father".

Leaving aside the wording of the slogans, there's a lot of sense in the one-child policy. One of the biggest problems in a lot of countries is over-population. We have that problem here ~ crowded roads, land being swallowed up by housing estates, etc etc.
