They see the effects that gaming has on children in neighboring countries, Japan and Korea, to the point that WHO added "Gaming disorder" as a disease and considers the addictive properties of video games, as well as monetization of that addiction to be a growing concern. For various reasons, the issue is not nearly as prevalent in the U.S. or Europe but it's a pretty big issue across Asia. Is this the right way to curb it? Absolutely not, the government should look to find the root causes of the addiction, mostly social in nature, and promote healthy alternatives, but like most things the government is more interest in easy and short term solutions.
