Recently, Hong Mingji, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), expressed his views on the problem of game addiction and proposed a complete ban on minors playing online games. This proposal has sparked a wide range of discussions in all walks of life, and although it is of positive significance to prevent minors from becoming addicted to games, it faces many challenges in its implementation.
The proposal to completely ban minors from playing online games expresses the concern of some parents about the healthy growth of their children. However, in reality, it is not easy to completely ban minors from playing online games. Even with anti-addiction systems and time limits, many children are still able to bypass the restrictions and continue to indulge in the game.
Controlling minors' addiction to online games requires the joint efforts of many parties. **Online platforms, schools and parents should all take their respective responsibilities. **Supervision of the game industry should be strengthened, and game companies should be encouraged to implement anti-addiction systems, and the time for providing game services to minors should be strictly limited. Online platforms should also strengthen identity identification and real-name registration to ensure the authenticity of game accounts. Schools should strengthen the education of students and guide them to establish a correct concept of play and attitude towards life. Parents should fulfill their guardianship responsibilities, actively accompany their children, cultivate their diverse interests and hobbies, teach them to use games correctly, and avoid addiction.
Although the proposal to completely ban minors from playing online games has some reasonableness, there are many difficulties in practice. More importantly, we should work together to create a healthy environment for children to grow up in a multifaceted way.
