China says it will relax one-child policy as part of new reforms >
Other changes include labor camp reforms and an improved relationship with the United States.
It’s impossible to comment on this without descending into gross understatement.
I'll do it anyway.
Good for them.

Haven't heard about it? Might be partly because abortion has become regarded as a right along the lines of gun ownership, not a civil right similar to equal treatment under the law or homosexual union. In other words, the "having an abortion" part is so strongly defended, alternatives or reversals like this are immediately viewed suspiciously. The right will view it as China's attempt to boost population growth rate while the West's is in decline, and the left will view it as disregard for a growing indentured Chinese class manufacturing goods to meet the West's material excess.
Perhaps we can instead celebrate the millions of lives that will be spared.
