So I remember that at some point, the Chinese government encouraged women to have lots of babies, but google sucks because whenever I search for when this was, and what government plan or whatever it was under, I just get tons of one child only policy shiet. Need some history people here.

Looking for more information on Mao's policies.

That's pretty much all you're going to find.

Mao did encourage population growth in the 1949. However it seems that this might've been a misunderstanding (and he was just basically spouting shit to boost morale.) By 1953 they started trying to curb population growth.
