In Mei Fong's book, "One Child: The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment", she explains some of the major dislocations this policy caused which are still being worked out through the present generation. Because the cultural revolution was taking place during the initiation of this change, the government only trusted the scientific community. So, guess what...a rocket scientist was put in charge. In my little town the expression to explain that something is very easy is to say, "It doesn't take a rocket scientist." Apparently that isn't the case for human behavior.
