If they just let it slide then the place becomes overpopulated and there isn't food for anyone! So what can they do?

Every member of society has to follow a certain set of rules in order for things to work. They are rules you just HAVE to follow - and they have to be enforced - because without them society would fall into shambles. In China one of those laws is the one child thing.

I wouldn't have more than 1 child if I lived in China unless I had that money to pay because I would recognize that I have a duty to my country and to everyone else living there. I'm not a selfish prick that puts myself above others.
