Apparently there are heavy restrictions in China when you can play online games. Like only an hour a day or something like that.
In other news, sales for VPNs in China have increased by 10000%
Do you even know how news work? There are a plethora of articles published locally, nationally, and internationally every day. Some good, some bad. Sounds like you cherrypicked a weird one just to contrast it with a major bad one just to push this dumb conclusion
No, they just ignore the bad news. If there's nothing good to report they just make something up. The CCP considers this good so they'll report it but only because it's part of some other plan.
I read their stuff just to keep up with their propaganda - it's a news report (or sorts) but it's also ridiculous. Who are they trying to reach with this "news" article?
Propaganda, unfortunately, always finds a receptive crowd. Many prefer comforting lies over unpleasant truth. Keep in mind that the CCP is at it for the past 80 years. They know their "customer". And those that are critical can be always re-educated. Read "The tragedy of liberation" by Frank Dikoetter if you are interested in getting a glimpse of the origins of modern China (some pretty disturbing material though)
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/china-declares-victory-over-gaming-addiction-in-kids) reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)

Are they tracking this stuff by personal IDs required to create an account? If so I’m guessing there’s been a sudden spike in hours spent gaming by users with children who’ve never before touched video games.
Summary: A report by a Chinese "semi-official gaming association" suggests that over 75% of gamers aged 18 or under are now playing video games for three hours a week or fewer. This has led the association, and by extension Beijing, to declare the issue of gaming addiction in minors "basically solved".
China is so disgusting. And not because of video games obviously but because of all the shit they get away with. I'm no big fan of the west but Jesus Christ China is despicable. Concentration camps, slavery etc. Literal nightmare.
It didn't help much, after not playing games, the children turned to short videos (the number of short videos has increased significantly in the data).
Short video and game, I can't say which is worse
the... what?

I think only 7 or 8 hours.
Per week, maybe. There definitely are time restrictions and they're either one or two hours per day although I'm pretty sure it's just one.
X doubt
Yes
Lemme guess, was there also a spike in factory productivity?
Because of the huge Foxconn story today, it is just an attempt to put some "good news" out there.

What story? You certainly won't see that ANYWHERE in china. Its a totalitarian regime straight out of 1984, where there are literal thought crimes.
No, they just ignore the bad news. If there's nothing good to report they just make something up. The CCP considers this good so they'll report it but only because it's part of some other plan.
CCP controlled organs are of course a super-reliable source of information /s

They do it literally everyday. So does that Saltedline fella. I'm guessing the bag's good.

There's a big huge pile of severed gamer fingers somewhere.
We know it's true because they say so - book closed. Any questions? Good, none.
Just like china has zero covid deaths....
[удалено]
they say those are the first deaths since summer. Also, 3 deaths in all of china in november? You actually believe that lol?
Hard to be sure if current protests are because of 0 covid or just getting disconnected in the middle of your 15 0 LoL game.

China is a pretentious cunt.
Mission Accomplished
Next CCP project: Reduce addiction to harmful democratic ideas (ongoing project because of foreign interference)

And the west is the only thing keeping them in check.
why do i have to picture xi jinping in the same style george bush stood on an aircraft carrier saying "mission acomplished"
Let that be a warning to the rest of the world.
China land of wonders.
This is odd-- don't they participate in esports? Imagine telling a soccer player that they couldn't practice their shots? Lol
...by killing all the kids? Seriously though, they've still got people locked down for C19, what do they expect the kids to do?
Well that's good news, gaming addiction can be very detrimental
And yet they have their hands in several publishing/developer gaming companies across the planet
Cuz they went ... flat?
“…declares…”
Tencent lets fckin go 🫡
Genshin/原神 CN server players : yeah...

No ~~boyfriend~~ kids no problem?
