E-games get the recognition they deserve

Many considered electronic games a nuisance. Most parents and teachers hated them. They are not good for children, agreed a majority of commentators. Even last year, a Xinhua News Agency commentary said they were "invoking violence among children" and kids' access to them should be restricted.

But electronic games are now getting the recognition they deserve. In December, Nanguang College of Communication University of China announced that it will offer a major in e-sport analysis from 2017, and its graduates will receive a bachelor's degree. This is a first in China.

The college has invited several domestic e-sport stars, such as Li Xiaofeng who won the world championship in the 2005 World Cyber Games, to be "profession tutors" for the new major to make the course more practical and attractive.
