> The additions to the WHO drafts were lobbied for by Asian countries, and it’s been known that South Korea has been aggressively pursuing adding video games as a form of addition given that they consider it one of the four evils of their society, despite e-sports and MMOs being some of the biggest exports from the country.
>the WHO drafts were lobbied for by Asian countries
>Asian countries are pushing it to try and neuter a billion dollar industry in the west
No, it's because Asian governments are traditionally power-hungry and love having more excuses to wield more power over their subjects.
Having more reasons to throw people into prison, destroy their reputation and say they're mentally insane, or disappear them? Fucking lovely. eg. Look at how China treats Hong Kong after the mainlanders put themselves in charge.

>https://archive.is/eAHzy (Chinese Teen Dies at Internet Addiction Rehab Camp) - can't find the gaming equivalent of this story. It seems their internet addiction camp is also their gaming addiction camp?
>https://archive.is/j1ORW Another take on a teen dying less than 48 hours after entering. It seems beatings are administered. Even if the person is rightfully upset, do they beat a teenager like they'd beat a trained soldier who is physically fit? In any case, the Government shuts then down, tells others not to do it, then carry on and (presumably) build more.
LOL
You have to understand the Chinese mindset. In this case, I'm betting that these camps aren't regulated yet and can be run by anyone - therefore will be staffed without a mind to qualifications, so, "concerned parents".
AKA middle-aged, traditionally-minded, well-intentioned idiots. And of course, the traditional Chinese method of discipline for those who don't take to words is to beat the shit outta them. Similar to how old-timey westerners beat their children for discipline.
The camps are probably run by idiots, therefore people die. Not surprising.
>https://archive.is/y4hTD Chinese Military plays to much Honor For Kings - (a game soon to be on the Switch). It helps muddy the waters further. If the Chinese Government can't stop their own trained soldiers from playing, what hope do they have for teenagers and children? Were the soldiers actually addicted? Do they treat the teenagers and children the same way they'd treat the soldiers? If Nintendo show off Honor For Kings (called Arena of Valor in the EU and US), then be sure to fill the game's hashtag with all the info on what China do to people who play it.
This is China doing a "CHINA FUCK YEAH" piece telling you how awesome and modern and well-treated their soldiers are. Nothing to do with gaming.
>https://archive.is/mQ4PF Another take on the same story as above. Pushing China's hypocrisy (investing in games, yet pushing these prison camps and for the WHO to make the world follow suit) could be a gold-mine. IF we can show China encouraged the UN to do the same. I'm not talking bribes or lobbying (though if you find it- great!) but stuff like a politician making a speech asking the WHO to do it. Not surprisingly, you may need knowledge of Chinese.
>Investing in games makes money. Thus is good.
>Gaming addiction is a problem, therefore there are rehab camps. Thus is good.
The camps are shit, but don't think too hard about it. It's not like the Chinese government gives much of a shit about their people's welfare anyway.
Oh yeah, and there's a Chinese thing about how "hardcore" treatment gives better results for "rebellious" attitudes. Sorta like how people go on about how amazingly hardcore their specops are.
Plus it's a lucrative industry. Some consumers want "super hardcore rehab" for their "super hardcore rebellious" child, so it's provided. Everyone knows on some level it's risky, but nobody gives a shit. That's China for you. Electric shocks and beatings might've been one of the incentives that drew the parents to that camp in the first place.
Of course, after the kid's dead the parents will go cry in public about how they chose the more humane treatment. No parent wants to look like an idiot that killed their own kid after all.
>This is another reason China deserves to be destroyed.
>How long until their economic bubble busts and their stupid demography bites them in the ass.
But why. The "beat yo kid" thing is practically tradition for everyone. Capitalism is sorta "western" but everyone else does it too. China just turns both up to 12.
They're like gaijin from the past but with elite modern capitalism. Plus they're rich and number 1 billion plus. They aren't going anywhere.
They gonna be kangs I tell you, kangs. The dragon rises again!
SJWs are looking less like an activist movement and more a like retarded cool kids club for young idiots.
This explains all the retarded college shit so, so much.
