Editor's note: This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up policy.
On July 16, 2007, China introduced an online gaming restriction to curb Chinese young people's obsession.
It requires game players to identify themselves by resident identity number, and after three hours' play, players under 18 are prompted to stop. If they continue, their in-game points are slashed in half. After five hours, all their points are automatically erased.
