159: China's restrictions on video games and movies

from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill

P&C drink and review "Slightly Mighty" by Dogfish Head, then review China's recent crackdowns on video games and effeminate men in movies. Since the CCP has complete control over technology services in China, they can monitor how much time kids spend playing video games. They're limiting kids to 3 hours / week, and only on the weekend.  This is part of a response to an alleged crisis of masculinity in their culture. They're also proscribing movies that show effeminate men. This is a common concern in nations that are trying to build an empire. Which tells us about China's ambitions.
