Five hundred people have been ejected from China’s Communist Party for having more than one child. Officials say about 90,000 in Hubei province violated the one-child only policy in 2007.

According to reports, 395 offenders were dismissed from their posts, and seven national and local lawmakers lost their political rank.

The strict family-planning laws were adopted in the 1970s to control population growth and conserve natural resources of the most heavily populated country in the world.
