3. Positive, healthy cyber culture
China launched an eight-month national crackdown on spreading online vulgar content to create a clean cyberspace environment starting April. Authorities will inspect platforms of online literature, livestreaming, videos, online games, microblogging and WeChat.
In March, several of China's short video platforms, including Douyin and Kuaishou, started trial testing a system designed to prevent addiction among adolescent viewers.
The built-in addiction-prevention system will be activated alongside the short video apps, with a reminder popping up to guide parents and young children to an "adolescent mode" designed for young viewers.
