Following the 2008 Sichuan earthquake , a new exception to the regulations was announced in Sichuan for parents who had lost children in the earthquake . Similar exceptions had previously been made for parents of severely disabled or deceased children . People have also tried to evade the policy by giving birth to a second child in Hong Kong , but at least for Guangdong residents , the one-child policy was also enforced if the birth was given in Hong Kong or abroad
