Family planning chief Zhang Weiqing said there would be no change in the rule limiting families in cities to one child and those in rural areas to two.
His comments come a week after another family planning official said a policy change was under discussion.
The rule has been blamed for creating a gender imbalance, with families eager to have boys rather than a girls.

The policy of limiting one child to each family and two for those living in rural areas is starting an issue with the gender balance. Most families would rather have a boy than a girl. The suggestion to make changes to this policy has been considered in the past but have not taken action due to the fear of a major population growth that China doesn't want to handle.
