7 China’s ‘Crazy’ Rules Under Xi Jinping’s Government

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Government China under control Xi Jinping make a number of new rules that are considered strange. Starting from banning private lessons to having to show maritime identity in the South China Sea.

Here are a series of ‘crazy’ rules implemented by the Chinese government:

1. Ban Private Lessons

China prohibits private lessons online or in unregistered places such as residents’ homes, hotels, and coffee shops.

This is done by the government to eradicate all tutors who seek personal gain.

China’s ministry said off-campus centers that offer tutoring in subjects on the school curriculum need to be licensed, operate outside the listed premises and employ qualified teachers.

The competitive education system in the Bamboo Curtain country makes many parents need private tutoring services.

2. Freezing Dozens of K-Pop Accounts

Chinese social media platform Weibo has frozen more than 20 K-Pop fan accounts such as fans of BTS, Blackpink and EXO. The action was carried out because of their behavior which was considered irrational.

According to China’s Internet Regulator, social media platforms can no longer publish celebrity lists. A fan club is also said to be set up.

The government has also issued a crackdown on the entertainment industry. Because according to him, many young people are exposed to foreign cultures and affect the social order. They called it a mess over the fan culture of celebrities by its citizens.

3. Online Game Playing Hours Restricted

The Xi Jin Ping government has also restricted the hours of playing online games for youths under the age of 18.

According to the new rules, teenagers under the age of 18 are only allowed to play games for three hours a week. Prior to this policy, children in China were allowed to play online games for 1.5 hours on weekdays, and three hours on weekends.

Players and online game entrepreneurs are also disappointed with this policy. They think the government underestimates the electronic game industry.
