A Chinese Internet user plays an online game at an Internet cafe in Huaibei city, east Chinas Anhui province, 12 January 2010. Chinese authorities said they will introduce a rating system for online games this year to crack down on vulgar content amid a soaring number of young gamers. We will issue practical rules for online games to protect youth, Liu Qiang, head of the Internet culture department with the Ministry of Culture, told China Daily Monday (18 January 2010). The rating system, released by Peking University and Huazhong Normal University, uses three different ratings for the suitability of online games. Those involved in the studies divided online games into categories suitable for people aged above 12 and those aged above 18. Content providers could also be required to describe their products in five different categories: games with cultural content, games covering social issues, games containing fighting and combat, games that have a negative visual and mental impact, as well as games that require long periods of time.
