A US$2200 bonus at each birth.

Has this idiot not looked at how much it costs to raise a child in China? ANY part of China, not to mention Hong Kong, arguably the single most expensive city?!

US$2200 won't even pay for the Kindergarten the children will have to go to because it takes two people working full-time to live in a cramped, squalid apartment!

Here's a thought: address the actual problem and do surgery. Band-aids don't help.
