As far as I'm aware it's not a strict rule that's applied equally all 
over the country. Minorities and sometimes people in rural areas are 
excempt from it. The same sometimes goes for people willing to cash 
out since corruption is more common than chopsticks. And then there 
are about a hundred or so other rules in different areas. But that and 
more is only what I know from Western sources. I have yet to talk to 
Chinese people about this. That said, there are plenty of people born 
after the 1970s here that have siblings. I also still have see this 
messed up sex ratio, because it is said that because of this one child 
per family policy there are way more men than women. Over here it 
actually seems the other way around. Or perhaps I'm only looking at 
the females. Or perhaps I live in a region that is part of a secret 
government experiment.
