These laws will ban rewards for spending money within a game for the first time, ban rewards for buying consecutive microtransactions, and ban rewards for daily log-ins.

It's so destructive that even China doesn't like it

They probably love that it's hurting competing nations, though.

Yes and the new rules apply to the Chinese domestic market. Tencent is free to do harm western teens.

Well they can hardly pass laws controlling other jurisdictions

Things like this and the screen time laws are why I foresee China as a huge threat in the future. Every other country will be mindless zombies staring at their screens and stupid. Easy to take control of.
