Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy,a senior official has warned.
As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child,Zhang Feng,family planning department director of Guangdong Province,stressed that this violated China's policies.
“And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.”he said.
“It doesn’t matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions , they have violated the country’s policies and the probince’s regulations”.
He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second in Hong Kong , but gave no details .
Zhang made his remarks when a Hong Kong newspaper carried a controversial notice claiming residents’ medical services had been affected by the growing number of mainland women who arrive in the city to give birth and gain fight of abode (居住)there.
According to statistics revealed by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government,about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2010,but more than 41,000 or 47 percent,were to mainland couples,including a large number from Guangdong.
Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.
The issue also has caused calls for an amendment(修正)to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent fight of abode.
“I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.”Zhang said.
China introduced its family planning policy in 1979 to limit births in the world's most populous nation,although the rules have been relaxed in recent years.

Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost.I it had slipped out my backpack as I was being .While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into and I had no but to cancel my debit cards.
I’d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present ,which was a bright, red leather, Cheeky Monkey purse ,so probably not entirely for a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!
Everyone I spoke to I might get the purse back but the money and vouchers in it would very likely disappear.I had written off the of the purse and was even considering whether to move on and go “grown-up” when I was seeking a .
I came home late the following night and my monkey purse was on my mat! I checked the contents and everything was including anything of cash value.I was astounded when I read the note which read, “I came across this last night.It was too dark to it then ,so I came back tonight.I got your from your license.Sorry.Iain.”
Not only had this man returned my purse but he thought he me an apology for not bringing it back sooner!
I have told almost all my acquaintances, who almost responded with a similar standard answer, “It restores your in human nature” and it lots of stories about similar experiences.
There were no contact so I am unable to get in touch to say thank you to Iain, but I hope he will be of how grateful I am!
