>What ever happened to the one child per family birth control ruling?

That's one of the most misunderstood policies. There are 56 minority 
groups in China, comprising about 5% of the population. They can have 
as many children as they want. They also receive money from the 
government to maintain their cultural uniqueness (Tibet included).

95% of the people are Han. In the countryside, policy says they can 
have two children. In the major cities, policy says they can have one.
But in fact, they can have as many as they want, provided they have
the financial means to support them. The government pays (read: the
people pay) to educate one child in the cities (two in the 
countryside). Education of a second or third child is the 
responsibility of the family. Twins or triplets are considered lucky. 
The government pays for all.
