Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Chinese government is keen to make a number of new rules. Even some points are considered strange by some parties.
How not, the rules are not only related to the state but to limit the personal affairs of its citizens. Starting from the rules for crossing the South China Sea (LCS), the wealth of citizens, prohibiting private lessons to playing games. As well as regulating the appearance of celebrities on television and online media.
Some of the tours summarized by CNBC Indonesia, including:
1. Ban Private Lessons
Wednesday (8/9/2021), the Chinese government banned private lessons for students in unregistered places, such as homes, hotels or coffee shops. Quoting Reuters, this is done to eradicate tutoring who is looking for profit.
The government said this was also done to reduce pressure on children and parents. The country’s competitive education system has made tutoring popular and burdened parents’ finances.
This is believed to have an impact on the weakening of the birth rate. Some tutors are said to be asking for US$4,650 per month.
“In some places tutoring subjects were moved to the ‘underground’ to circumvent the rules,” the Ministry of Education said.
2. Banning Online Classes
Not only prohibiting private lessons, China also yesterday issued a new rule prohibiting private teachers from giving online classes to students. Online tutoring outside of school via instant messaging, video conferencing and streaming platforms is prohibited.
3.Setting the Hours of Playing Online Games
China has also recently implemented new strict rules regarding gaming. Children and teens under 18 years of age should only play three hours of online video games per week.
This rule is contained in the latest provisions of China’s National Press and Publication Administration (NPAA). This age group is only allowed to play games one hour a day from 8-9pm during weekends and public holidays.
The government calls this to maintain the physical and mental health of children. Companies that make games will also be subject to a number of conditions.
Companies will not be allowed to provide services to users who log in not using real names. This prevents companies from ignoring users’ backgrounds.
Actually, similar rules have existed since 2019. However, at that time, those under the age of 18 were allowed to play games one hour per day almost every day.
4. Freezing Kpop Fan Accounts
Tuesday (7/8/2021), China reportedly froze 21 Kpop idol fan accounts. Through Weibo – the Chinese version of Twitter – the country temporarily blocked 21 accounts of idol fans from South Korea (South Korea).
Quoting Yonhap News, BTS and Blackpink fan accounts are included. There are also other group accounts such as NCT, Red Velvet, SNSD to solo singer IU.
“The behavior of fans chasing after their idol stars is increasingly irrational,” the platform wrote, explaining the cause, published by Yonhap.
This relates to rules announced last week by the Chinese government to control “celebrity cult and fan club culture”. The regulation was issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).
In general this rule also says it will punish the spread of ‘dangerous information’ in celebrity fan groups in the country. It even closes the channel if it spreads rumors of celebrity scandals and provokes certain problems.
The government will also regulate the promotion of celebrities online. Including banning lists that sort celebrities by popularity.
The rules will also crack down on the financial exploitation of netizens through the sale of merchandise. Including charging other fans to vote for their favorite acts on online variety shows.
“It also aims to limit access to online fan groups for minors,” the CAC said.
