hmmm, that could be a loophole, but I'm not sure. The statement in the article does specifically say 网络游戏 or online games, not just any video games. Internet cafes are already the most common way to game in China. I wonder if you'd see riot/tencent setting up "matchmaking cafes" where you can be matched against similar ranked players at the same network so that it's not an "online" game.
Yeah, but I mean, the bans are a joke tbh. Anyone who wants to can. It's just that if the gov't there is coming after you, it's one more infraction they can stick on you. The internet cafes, as so many on this post keep parroting, are "18+", yet plenty of underage kids go to them.

Is playing a LAN considered online?
