China will ban minors from playing games for more than three hours per week. Holidays are an exception. The government will impose the strictest controls on youth entertainment, hitting the world's largest mobile gaming arena.

Gaming platforms, from Tencent to NetEase, can now only offer online games to minors between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm on Fridays, weekends and holidays. The state news agency Xinhua reported this on Weibo, citing a notice from the National Press and Publication Bureau.

The new rules, which limit teenagers' playing time to three hours a week, will replace those established in 2019 (then the limit was 1.5 hours a day).

Minors are only part of their business, especially after the recent restrictions, according to Tencent and other Chinese companies. For example, the country's largest gaming company said that revenue from minors is less than 3% of its gross gaming revenue in China.

Superb.
