Many Chinese giving birth in CNMI to skirt one child policy

Many tourists from mainland China who come to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to give birth to U.S. citizen children wanted to get around the Chinese government's “one child policy.” “Most of the pregnant Chinese who come here give birth to their second child, not first child. Depending on how rich they are, they stay at a three-bedroom hotel room or apartment, or just one bedroom apartment,” the translator told Saipan Tribune. He said because children born here are U.S. citizens, the birth tourists coming here won't have two Chinese children when they go back to their country “so they are not violating the one child policy. But more important, they want their children to be able to leave China when they grow older and they don't want their children to be communists.
