Family planning authorities in China’s Sichuan province have begun distributing payments of 1,000 yuan, or about $144, annually to parents whose only child was killed during an earthquake on May 12, the Wall Street Journal reports. Before the quake, under China’s one-child policy, Sichuan officials gave rural couples with only one child 60 yuan to 120 yuan, or about $8 to $17, annually and 1,000 yuan annually to parents/couples over age 60.
