Remember, this policy was formed some time after the Great Chinese Famine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine. I'm not agreeing with the way the policy was enforced, but it's an important background context to why it came about. The population numbers were taking off and this famine wasn't that long ago.
