I’m appalled at how many people are defending this. I don’t think it’s comparable to any other western bans, I.e alcohol and tobacco. We don’t ban anything that goes into a child’s mind as long as their parents consent. Just because video games aren’t in societies best interest doesn’t mean a child should be barred from doing what they love. Man it’s so hard to fit in for some people and this is there escape. This really seems like just another of the hundreds of rules China uses to sap the absolute freedom and childhood out of kids. The school schedule is absolutely insane. I do think this will have negative effects on the Chinese culture
