Houston star Yao Ming marries longtime girlfriend in ceremony in Shanghai - NBA - Yahoo! Sports


Rumor has it that the Chinese government wants the new couple to have 10 kids - 5 girls and 5 boys (or else) - to make up the two Chinese national basketball teams in the future.

with him being 7'5 and her 6'2 these kids are destined for heightness.

I wonder given Yao's celebrity if he would be allowed to have more than one child.

They will be living here won't they? Therefore Chinese laws don't apply to him.

Peer pressure. Yao may not live in China, but he is Chinese. From what I have read, there is a lot of peer pressure and public scrutiny that influences everything he does.

Gotta have a basketball court in the backyard..........just in case....

I wonder if they had a really big wedding?

Anyone can have more than one child if they have enough money. Firstly, if you have a girl first, I think you are allowed to try again for a boy (that may be incorrect, though). Secondly, if you have more than one child, generally you just have to pay a penalty. If you've got the big bucks, no problemo. So Yao could definitely afford to have more than one kid. Also, I really would have to see some hard evidence to believe that Chinese families living in the US feel peer pressure to only have one child. It's probably true that many have adopted the idea that one child is enough, but the change in the law is fairly recent, and I don't know that the idea has necessarily permeated into the general conscience of the people. I have spoken with people who said they wished they could move to America so they could have more than one child.

If you really want to find that someone special, that you indicated, then you might want to consider learning to think in pairs on certain issues.
