Resolution on family planning, 10 July 1987.
On 10 July 1987 the People's Congress Standing Committee of Guangxi adopted a Resolution on strengthening family planning work and strictly controlling population growth. The Resolution reads as follows: "Over the past few years, our region has scored some achievements in promoting family planning work. Quite a few areas have not firmly grasped family planning work, but have perfunctorily carried out ideological work and shown a poor command of the relevant policies, thus bringing about an excessively fast population growth rate. Moreover, our region is currently entering a new fertility peak. Therefore, we are faced with the very arduous tasks of fulfilling the population program listed in the Seventh 5-Year Plan and the population control targets set for the last years of this century." The Resolution adds: "We must strengthen the management and supply of contraceptives, raise the technical standards of sterilization, and improve services in this regard. We must also strengthen the management of family planning work concerning the floating population. Financial departments at all levels must successfully arrange the funds essential for family planning work. Judicial organs at all levels must strike severe blows at all illegal and criminal activities disrupting family planning work."
