China is where the USA was 20-30 years ago. Had video games been as advanced in the 90s as they are today, the USA would have instituted similar policies back then. There was a huge crusade against gaming in the 90s, particularly when it came to children playing videogames. The USA benefits from having an older population who grew up playing videogames. Anyone under 40 probably played games at least a little bit growing up. And those under 30 almost certainly did, as games started becoming more broadly appealing in the PS2 era. So they view games in a much different way than their parents, who largely knew nothing about videogames did.
