The communist Chinese authorities are, according to a recent official report, adding a further layer of coercion to the already draconian population control measures which threatens to penalize urban Chinese who have more than one child by adding a black mark to their credit record. The move is considered to be targetting China's nouveau rich, whose financial standing has rendered them somewhat immune from fines for violating population policies. "In the future, city residents' family planning violations will be entered in the credit system of the People's Bank of China,"said a notice posted late Thursday on the Web site of China's National Population and Family Planning Commission. It didn't give additional details about the scheme and it was not immediately clear whether the action might affect a person's ability to conduct financial transactions. Rising incomes mean many people can afford to break the rules and pay resulting fines. The government has tried to crack down on the trend by raising fines and, in some cases, trying to embarrass violators. In February, the eastern province of Zhejiang announced it planned to name and shame rich families who ignored the one-child policy by paying to have their second or third baby.
