After a Chinese state media outlet argued that video games are harmful to children, technology company Tencent immediately announced restrictions on screen time for minors.
Economic Information Daily — a subsidiary of official state outlet Xinhua News Agency — referred to video games with phrases such as “spiritual opium” and “electronic drug” in a now-deleted article. Tencent — a conglomerate technology company whose video game “Honor of Kings” was specifically mentioned in the article — immediately announced screen time limits for school-aged children.
