Is it really a law or just highly encouraged, if a couple has more than one child will they get penalized, how do they enforce the policy or law?

In many cases they will be destroyed. Go to Amnesty International and see what they have to say.

I think that the way it works is that families with just one child get benefits that multichild families do not get.
Multichild familieis are NOT penalized, but rather, single child families are rewarded.
This is only in mainland China, I believe… not in free Taiwan.

When they have their first they get a break on their taxes. When they have a second they lose that tax break. When they have another they are penalized for each one.

they used to kill the child. now they must pay a fee and put the child up for adoption.

as always, it depends on who.
peasants in china are so far down the ladder that there is virtually nothing the state can do to them short of execution. so peasant women tend to ignore the state’s family planning directives — because a child becomes an asset [produces more than s/he eats] on the farm before age 10.
city dwellers can and do pay taxes … thus the state’s taxing mechanism issues rewards and punishments as previously described.
