China has implemented several measures to curb video game addiction, which officials say is damaging to children’s health. In November 2019, the country imposed a curfew on online gaming for minors. Gamers under 18 were banned from playing online between 22:00 and 08:00. They were also restricted to 90 minutes of gaming on weekdays and three hours on weekends and holidays. Chinese technology shares fell after the country’s cyberspace regulator recommended limiting smartphone usage of children under 18. Shares of firms like Alibaba and video-sharing site Bilibili fell on Wednesday and saw more losses early on Thursday. The rules proposed by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), will also see children banned from accessing the internet on mobile devices from 22:00 to 06:00 local time. Is time for the world to emulate what China is doing ?
