There are plans to regulate children’s screen time based on age in China.
The proposed limits are as follows: 16 to 18-year-olds can have up to two hours of screen time, 8 to 16-year-olds can have up to one hour, and children under eight would be limited to just eight minutes.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) is advocating for implementing a ‘minor mode’ on smart devices, which would not only enforce the screen time restrictions but also block internet access for individuals under 18 between 10 pm and 6 am.
Parents will have the option to opt out of these time limits if they choose to do so. The CAC is currently seeking public feedback on these plans until 2nd September to consider the opinions and concerns of the public before finalizing the regulations.

I think this is annoying Because what are Chinese kids gonna do for the rest of the day other then playing on devices but you can choose to do the device time limit if you don’t want to do it.
if i was still in china, i would barely be on screens lol
I think this is awesome, New Zealand should do something similar!
