    Big China fan but cultural policing like this is overbearing and cringe.

          For those not familiar, Sixth Tone is a party-owned publication which is often very critical, especially on social issues.

          This article, though, doesn't say much about the subject at hand (other than what batshoe quoted).

            Your comment doesn't do enough justice to how completely unrelated that Sixth Tone article is. The entire thing is about closing a loopholes that companies are using to get around the playtime restrictions on minors, and then at the very end it barely mentions the rest of the memos content.

                Fair enough, I didn't mean that comment to feel like it was attacking you or anything. There is undeniably a socially conservative current in the CPC that sucks, but I think people tend to focus on that and not on the other stated purpose of the policy that was in the memo, which was combating unrealistic beauty standards in media.

          I'm not saying it's false but:

          :bruh:

          I'm personally going to wait for analysis to come in from sources I trust more. It could be true, or could be false, or could be partially true, but I'm not taking it from the :cia: .

          I can't read Chinese, but based on the translation (if the documents are real) that seems like an ESRB-like scoring system rather than a list of things that are banned.
