  Interesting 🤔 I remember about a month ago, there was a bunch of headlines about “tang ping” or basically a bunch of young Chinese people deciding they don’t want to work hard anymore. They will not procreate, buy a home, or anything else in a brutal rat race.
  Most recent headline on that topic https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/28/economy/c…
  
  Naturally, the CCP frowned on that and got their censors going. I wonder if they are trying to crack down on videos games because they blame that for less people wanting to work hard.

  ^^^ I read a similar article - although the one I read was talking about how that “movement” was starting to catch on in they United States. The article was written by a 20 something female who ditched living in NYC to go move back in with her parents in rural West Virginia to just do some freelance work.

  It was in today's WSJ, too, although behind a paywall:

  Totalitarian for sure -- but at least the Chinese kids won't grow up as fat, brain-dead, slobs living in some online fantasy world. Let's face it, it's a good strategy for the Chinese to continue with their quest for world dominance. Look for an increase in murdered Chinese parents, though.

  TUSCL - the equivalent of a fantasy world for adults that have poor hand eye coordination and therefore are poor at video games.

  "Juice would lose his mind if he lived in China."

  There are few countries that have the control over their citizens that China has right now. The government knows basically everything that each citizen does. Since the Chinese people use technology, and cell phones, it allows the government a high level of insight into each interaction many folks have.
  
  They use many other methods to track and provide a true big brother oversight.

  Living just to conform to social expectations, and even making children to do this. This is the problem in both Capitalism and Communism. Both suppress consciousness and both exploit children.
  
  People want to do things which have intrinsic value, and are not just for approval seeking.

  People who live for approval has always been a problem in the United States. At various times though you do see people resisting this.

  I support laws that help society. Look at them and look at us.

  Our problem isn't lack of governmental controls on video games, it's parents outsourcing their responsibility to electronics.

  iCEY, you are sounding like someone who would have supported the 18th Amendment. You are sounding like an Uplifter Pseudo Feminist.

  Blizzard can get fucked. They chose to put a ton of money in a mobile game to get that sweet China cash and alienated their US customers in the process. Now they won't have many customers in both countries.
