China just banned young people from playing online games during the school week and also limited weekend play

To everyone making jokes about kids circumventing these restrictions, I’m not sure you understand the scope of China’s control over its internet.

Sure, a minority cohort of hard-core games will find a way to put up a VPN and/or play locally, etc.

But for the average family whose entire life is connected to and monitored by the central overlords, they’re not gonna let their kids take a chance at hurting the family’s digital reputation.

It’ll work, and TBH (speaking as the father of a Roblox-obsessed youngster) maybe they’ve got the right idea…
