I don't know for sure, but there are a lot of exceptions to the one child policy. I believe twins would be permitted to receive hukou's (papers) without the parents having to pay the normal fee for a second child, which is 100,000 RMB in Guangzhou. Then again, because China is a big country with lots of people (you don't say?), policies are enforced differently in different places, so it could vary.
About 2 years into my stay here, this one girl I was interested in introduced me to her brother....
The next day I asked her how should could have a brother under the 1 child policy.
She said, "Oh yes...we paid a
terrible price....." *shudder*
After a long pause, she continued:
"It was almost 3 months salary!"
