In July 1987 Ling Botang, the Vice Governor of Guangdong, announced the following measures adopted by the government of Guangdong to keep population growth under control: "No more births outside the plan should be allowed in 1987. County governors should personally grasp the work of family planning. In June 1986, Guangdong promulgated its revised regulations on family planning; however, some areas have failed to control second births in the rural areas in accordance with the plan and the interval required between two children. Guangdong's existing family planning regulations will remain unchanged for the next decade and more. All localities should strictly implement the regulations; they should urge all those couples with child-bearing capability but no child-bearing indexes to adopt birth-control measures. Those who violate the stipulations on family planning, no matter who and how high their official ranks are, will be seriously dealt with."
