Parents laud limits on video game time

-

Like many other parents, Li Zhanguo is happy with new government restrictio­ns that limit children to just three hours weekly of online gaming time — an hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weeks. The restrictio­ns, which took effect earlier this month, are a tightening of 2019 rules that banned children from gaming overnight and limited them to 90 minutes most weekdays. Experts say it’s unclear if such policies can help prevent addiction to online games.
