They also put a ban on video games for the youths. What isnt China trying to ban nowadays?

Wow! Yesterday I read that they are banning video games on school nights, and only allowing 1 hour of video games per weekend.

As someone who has lived in US for the last 20 years, i cannot imagine anything like this. How will it even be enforced?

Is it that you are only masculine if you look like the security guard in the subway in Xi’an?

This made me laugh, ngl.

But yeah...

I just read an article the other day about the new laws, they're using facial recognition software and it boots players off after the 10pm curfew.

They talk to a teenager and he's like yeah it might not be hard to get around by using his parents identity documents, he could continue playing.
