High quality porcelain, and coarser pottery for local use, were made throughout the Song and yuan periods. during this time, however, the workshops and kilns which produced the porcelain were scattered around Fuliang county and little if any was made in Jingdezhen itself, which functioned primarily as a market and as a government control point for official orders. during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) the industry and Jingdezhen underwent radical changes. the quantity of porcelain produced increased dramatically and the quality was greatly improved. Jingdezhen was transformed from a market into an industrial center, so that by the end of the dynasty most kilns outside had closed down and production was concentrated in the town. although this process continued throughout the Ming dynasty, the period of most rapid change was in the sixteenth century in the reigns of the Jiajing (1522–66) and Wanli (1573–1620) emperors. a number of factors were involved in this transformation.

    1 POPULATION PLANNING 1 International Standards and China’s Coercive Population Policies Chinese officials continue to actively promote and implement co- ercive population planning policies which, as they are written and implemented, violate international standards. The PRC Population and Family Planning Law and provincial implementing guidelines limit couples’ freedom to build their families as they see fit by stip- ulating if, when, and how often they may bear children.2 Local im- plementing regulations across China still require that couples be married and obtain a birth permit to lawfully bear a child.3 The population planning policies of all of China’s 31 provincial-level ju- risdictions limit couples to bearing one child.4 Exceptions for cou- ples who meet certain criteria vary by province,5 and include some exceptions for ethnic minorities.6 Officials continue to coerce com- pliance with population planning targets using methods including heavy fines,7 forced abortions,8 and forced sterilizations.9 Controls imposed on Chinese women and their families, and ad- ditional abuses engendered by China’s stringent population and family planning system, violate standards set forth in the 1995 Bei- jing Declaration and Platform for Action 10 and the 1994 Pro- gramme of Action of the Cairo International Conference on Popu- lation and Development.11 China was a state participant in the ne- gotiations and adoption of both.12 Acts of official violence com- mitted in the implementation of coercive population planning poli- cies 13 contravene
