Father-Of-3 Zhang Yimou Was Fined S$1.5mil For Breaching China’s One-Child Policy
That policy has now been abolished to combat an ageing population and netizens are wondering if the director wants his money back.
Like many other countries in the world, China is experiencing issues with declining fertility rates and an ageing population. This comes in spite of the abolishment of its controversial one-child policy in 2016, which was replaced with a two-child limit.
In another bid to combat the problem, the Chinese government announced last week that married couples will now be allowed to have up to three children, something that renowned filmmaker Zhang Yimou was punished for in the past.
