China seems more anti-game than it seems pro-profit in this case. Otherwise why limit children to 3 hours per week of gaming? Why ban images of “effeminate men

  > To me, China seems to be preparing. This is a really interesting perspective. If China is trying to masculinize its teenage male population, we could see it engage in conflict as soon as these teenagers grow into adults at their physical prime, 6-8 years from now. I think it's entirely likely that China will attempt to annex Taiwan within the next 10 years. I think we will also see China be one of the first countries to engage in large-scale cyberwarfare alongside any physical conflict, e.g. DOS'ing civilian communications.

    Yes China seems to have a very long term perspective with their five year plans that they seem to take very seriously. Couple that with the treatment China received in the Opium Wars, Rape of Nanking, etc. I type on computers for a living so take it with a grain of salt. But it seems to me China was on top technologically for thousands of years. Then they suffered humiliations for hundreds of years. And I think they’re done with that.

      They were neck and neck with other civilizations but they certainly weren't "on top" unless you only read Chinese history books.
