I looked up this word in a dictionary, which sasy "Sterilize--- To deprive (a person or an animal) of the ability to produce offspring, as by removing the reproductive organs." It is inappropriate to use it here. Usually, Chinese couples are allowed to give birth to one child. But they may have the second baby if they meet some requirements. If they break the rules, they will be fined and undergo an operation called Jie Za (结扎). It means tubal ligation or ligation of the vas deferens. As a result, they can never give birth to babies. PS: either the husband or the wife takes the operation.

Wan There are many ways to achieve sterilization. Tubal ligation and ligation of the vas deferens are just two means. Well, 超生 here means that some Chinese parents break 'Family Planning Program' or 'Birth Control' policy, to be accurate.
