BBC World Service - World Business Report, China to limit children’s online gaming time

Under-18s will only be allowed three hours per week

The Chinese authorities will limit children’s access to online video games to just three hours a week on Fridays, weekends, and holidays. The BBC’s Stephen McDonell in Beijing and Professor Cheng Chen at SUNY-Albany in New York State discuss the reaction from parents as well as the demographic crisis that has China’s leaders worrying more about the country’s youth. Also in the programme, Vietnam’s coffee exports are under threat due to a coronavirus lockdown. Kona Haque, commodities analyst at ED&F Man, explains what this means for the world’s coffee supply and prices. And we take a look back at the life of Jamaican reggae star Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry who has died at the age of 85. Biographer David Katz explains why he has had such an enormous influence on the music industry. (Photo: Boy playing video games, Credit: Os Tartarouchos/Getty)
