China limits mobile gaming time to three hours for minors: Report

The Chinese government on Tuesday announced a set of rules where it cracked down on children’s mobile gaming time as it continues to exert its control over the nation’s technology sector. The new rule states that minors in China will be allowed to play games on their phone for only three hours a week starting September 1.

The National Press and Public Administration said that children can play games between 8pm and 9pm on Fridays and weekends and on public holidays. The new rule decreases the gaming time for children to three hours on maximum weeks of the year. Earlier, the Chinese government allowed minors to spend 90 minutes per day and three hours per week on mobile gaming.
