20 years ago, only about 10% of Chines people use condoms when having sex, and nowadays the percentage of Chinese people who have protective sex is 50%. We can clearly see that the percentage has increased over time, but still, there are 50% of Chinese people who don’t use protection when having sex.

In Henan, China, there are more than 3000 small stations where people could get free condoms using their ID cards. In lots of other parts of China, you can even get free condoms online. In this way, people who could not afford condoms or do not want to pay for condoms could have access to protected sex.

What China was trying to achieve with the One Child Policy was fix a problem they had caused in the first place, when, Mao Zedong, encouraged having more children to have more future workers, and discouraged the use of birth controls (Intro). The One Child Policy came into place in 1980, effected the ethnicity of Han Chinese and was definitely not one of China’s best ideas. It caused many hardships for the citizens of China.
