This isn’t any more authoritarian than the US banning alcohol and cannabis for people under 21. At least China is allowing kids to do a little bit of gaming. Meanwhile in the US young adults and children are outright forbidden from intoxicating substances (as opposed to many European countries where teens can buy low-alcohol beverages.)
- jackconsidine 5y agoWeed is illegal in China and they do have a drinking age there, albeit 18 not 21, so this seems like a false equivalency.
- beaunative 5y agoDrinking age in China exist only on paper, and it doesn't exist for most people. If you call the police in China for drinkning age violation, they would probably think you are insane. Hardly can be said in the US.
- skystarman 5y agoAlcohol has been scientifically proven to cause long-term health consequences to children. It is also an incredibly addictive and dangerous substance that often results in lifetime debilitation, cancers, and other deadly diseases. This is not in any way similar to video games. This entire thread seems to be overrun with Tankies or CCP bots.
