VIVA – China recently made a rule that children under 18 can only play game online for three hours a week. Playing online games can only be done on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But they realized there was still the possibility of violations.
“On several online buying and selling platforms, it was found that the rental and sale of online game accounts were found. Users can bypass surveillance by renting and buying accounts plus playing online games without restrictions. That is, there is still a gap for teenagers to be able to play online games. This is something that deserves attention,” the Chinese government said in a statement VIVA Tekno from site Devdis Course, Monday, October 11, 2021.
China also said that several online trading or e-commerce platforms had taken strict action against children under 18 from buying, selling and renting online gaming accounts.
Online gaming companies are asked to actively fulfill their social responsibilities, be responsible for the healthy growth of the next generation and promote the healthy development of the industry.
Families and schools are also not spared from China’s regulations which are urged to create an environment that is conducive to children’s growth. Some minors use parental identity to register for online gaming accounts thus making game time limits ineffective. This issue should be a concern for parents.
China, which is the world’s largest video game market, has for years been concerned about online and internet gaming addiction among young people.
The Bamboo Curtain country even established a clinic that combines therapy and military training for those who suffer gaming disorder.
