On March 4th, according to domestic media reports, representatives suggested establishing an anti-addiction mechanism for college students in online games, as excessive gaming could lead to the loss of ambition.
The issue of college students being addicted to online games has caught the attention of Chen Zhilie, a national People's Congress representative and Chairman of Ruijie Networks.
"Currently, various measures to prevent addiction to games among underage internet users have achieved good results. It is suggested to establish an anti-addiction mechanism for college students in online games by appropriately extending the age range of game control and other means," said Chen Zhilie.
This has also sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens expressed that it's too much to regulate college students just for playing games.
Other netizens questioned why the focus is always on college students, as they are also adults. Is the aim to control addiction to the internet or to shackle college students? It is suggested that an anti-addiction mechanism be established for people of all ages nationwide.
