You leave out a tiny important detail: how do they resurrect the corrupt officials that got executed?

#12The stats are for all ages of gamers in China. Kids are going to be a very small part of that, so one might not expect to see significant change. Also considering most Chinese kids never had a lot of free time in which they could play games, with long hours of school, homework & extra-curricular activities.

#13People are going to do what they want to do. You can't use forceful policy to change it. At best it becomes ineffective, at worst you get unintended side effects that you only notice afterwards. Your best bet is to take gaming and to change it subtly to produce a more useful result. Eg teach things through games. Just don't overdo it on the teaching part, because then it stops being a game.
forceful policy from government is one thing
what about your parents/friends/peers in society being ashamed of you/looking down on you for gaming too much?

I don't think it will bring about appreciable results, but I think that's fine. Everyone has their own opinions on it. Government policy is the one that matters for me since they can force things.

#15Well, yes, the party can mandate a million things and the people workaround it, faking it. Once a bejing party official visits, all the lawns will be painted, all motorcycles confiscated, all prostitutes arrested, all street vendors ousted and all gamer dens closed. Once the official leaves, the world goes back to normal.
