Broadcast Transcript: First the one child policy and now the one dog policy. First in Beijing and now in Guangzhou, the government is limiting the number of dogs in any household to one. And the regulation wasn't grandfathered in, meaning if you had 5 dogs, 4 of 'em had to go. But wait. Maybe not. There's a saying here in China: When the people at the top make a policy, the people at the bottom will find a way to get around it. And already dog owners are jumping through the loopholes. One woman with two dogs simply plans to register one of them to her mother and father. Which means that at least one dog will be if not grandfathered in then grandparented in. #ceas #china #hacker
