Beijing’s two sessions (会议) are being widely discussed across China. During the sessions, many proposals (提案) and suggestions were put forward. Here are two issues that were discussed during the sessions that might interest you.

Smartphone ban (禁令)

According to the survey conducted last year, 68.1 percent of Chinese primary and junior high school students have their own smartphones. To keep students from playing with their smartphones in class, some schools have already banned smartphones on campus.

Lei Yanqin, a deputy (代表) of the National People’s Congress (NPC, 全国人民代表大会), suggested that smartphones should be banned at schools nationwide. She said that listening to music and playing games in class not only bother teachers, but also make it difficult for students to concentrate (集中注意力). She added that students might also show off their phones too much.

Video game rating system (分级制度)

Over 200 million teenagers across China play online games like King of Glory (《王者荣耀》), Guangming Daily reported. With their computers and tablets, teenagers are able to play most online games produced in China and abroad. However, some games have violent (暴力的) or vulgar (粗俗的) content that might not be suitable for young people.

Many NPC deputies suggested that a rating system for online games should be introduced. All games would be put into age groups according to their content. Players would have to give their ID numbers before playing certain games.
