All very true – but then you have to question what effect this has on the human psyche, and that’s a hairy topic. Most cultures seem to trust the emplacement of age-based content ratings, as adults are thought to be less influenced by the graphic material (if at all). Hypothetically, if graphic content were damaging, shouldn't exposure to it be left to an individual’s autonomy?
China’s online game industry is expected to swell by 30 to 50% this year alone, with sales revenue reaching from 24 billion yuan ($3.51 billion) to 27 billion yuan. It has about 200 million online game players and more than 300 million Internet users – the largest number worldwide.

Well you know what they say... "People don't kill people, gang oriented video games and websites kill people." (Or something like that) Silly communists.

Wouldn't individuals who want these types of games just pirate it? /shurg
But not really shocking that they'd do this.

LOL the Politburo was probably getting PWNED by a bunch of schoolkids, so they had to resort to this!
I smell a cover-up!

This is a smart move by the Communist govn't. Because since the beginning of time, the internet and online gaming has always influenced & promoted gang violence. How do you think Al Capone got started.

For a country that censor words like **** or **** (like now :p), that would probably make children ears bleed?, you like judging others a lot. It's ok to censor sex but not violence? You should really stop watching tv and try to think with your own brains if they're not already rotten. Just try not to watch tv for a month (maybe the pc too), you'll be better persons. If you want to ask yourselves a question, ask how much your life is influenced by television.

Hypothetically, what if the Chinese were given the right to express individual autonomy?
Hypotheticals are fun!
