It's always been allowed to have more than one child depending on the region, or for ethnic minorities. But I also agree that it should be universally raised to a two child policy. It would also help alleviate "Little Emperor Syndrome" where the only child is spoiled and doesn't learn how to share. A sibling is a great thing to have for many reasons.
And if this policy does not exist, the problem of overpopulation would be even worse in China. What most westerners don't realise is that a political system that is suitable for all societies under all circumstances does not exist, the western style parliamentary democracy very specific to the socio-economic milieux of industrialised western societies, forcefully applying it to third world countries can have disastrous consequences.

I think this only applies in the country side (the rational is you need male to do all the heavy farming in the family). In the city, you stick to the one-child policy no matter what the sex of your first-born is. And the exception is if you belong to a minority group, you can have more than one child even in the city. And this will not be affected by the sex of the first-born.
no your allowed 2 children now. If the male and female side were the only child in the family and their salary are sufficient then there allowed. Feedback from interviewing these couples they prefer to only have one, as having two is to much of a financial burden apparently. Though if it does get a point where population is in serious dilemma then the government can simply wave the law off. After all the government initiated it in the first place, they can simply reverse it.

No wonder China has an imbalance in the number of the 2 sexes!
I wonder what measures they can take to remedy this problem?
Resurgent how? Their economy has been in stagnation for years now, and this will likely continue because they've topped out developmentally, and possess the 2nd lowest birth rate in the world (lowest is Hong Kong). I know China has a problem with an aging population due to the one child policy, but Japan has it even WORSE.
I believe Japan will be a fine place to live and continue to be a major economic force, but due to all these factors it's highly unlikely that they will rise up to be a true power again. I also find it ridiculous that they haven't kicked the Americans out yet, still under occupation since the end of WW2.
Japan had their chance to conquer a weak and chaos racked China in WW2, their window of opportunity has pretty much closed forever.

Japan is just gonna tag along til the next time they are "shocked" by an outsider, this time prolly the Chinese, and they'll rise once again.
Japanese are not institutional innovators, but they can take any institution built by anyone in the world and apply its own culture to its practice and make it even more efficient than it was. this is a gift prolly god gave only to Japan. China for example must come up with its own institutions.
