If you want to be the global superpower and also keep your strangehold on society, you don't want children spending a lot of time on games.
You want them to learn social skills (for future reproductive success), study math/science, etc.
The US brain-drained the entire world for more 100 years, and the CCP likely sees efforts like this as a way to catch up.
I disagree -- I think you become as powerful as the US by being the best place for smart people to move to, not by forcing your populous into a predetermined mold -- but they're never going to be the attractive bastion of freedom that the US was perceived as.
