“Yes. We’re supposed to believe that a majority of Chinese parents basically said: “Please limit our children’s video game playing under the threat of arresting us (parents) if we (parents) don’t enforce your draconian will. We understand that it’s for our own good that you take these benign measures!””
Yes, pretty much, at least if they’re like American parents. I gave my kids ‘dumb phones’ until they were 18 and made sure that I could see any use of computers (they were in the living room). Did my kids have ‘workarounds’ - of course, since they had friends, but the other 80% to 90% of their non-school hours were with us.
So how many other parents, even here, are willing to do that? Yet they all know that it is the right thing to do, as video games and social media is DESTRUCTIVE, but how many parents can say NO to a nagging kid...be honest (mine couldn’t when I was growing up).
