I think this point is underrated (albeit a bit unrelated).

If China is looking to abuse the world in the way it has been abused, and to cause humiliation to others the way it has been humiliated, then getting the nations workforce to spend their time sitting in front of a computer doing an almost entirely unproductive activity for hours on end, creating a dopamine high that most other activities and certainly hard acitivities like studying can't compete with, then video games share an aweful lot of properties with opium. Real money for digital currency or goods is also something that is ridiculous enough it should probably be heavily regulated.

And Instagram and Twitter and all the other domestically-produced mind-addling time-vampires? I understand looking for "real motives" but getting people addicted to stupid things is a very common business model everywhere under our economic model.
