Wouldn't those kids grow up resenting the CCP? If the CCP keeps doing this long enough, they're going to have millions of sullen people and then all it takes is just one spark.
...and lots of disaffected people end up dead or beaten or in prison or, seeing those options demonstrated vividly, resigned to their fate under the CCP’s rule, unwelcome as it may be.
It’s not like this hasn't played out already several times over different issues.
Yes, we [*] know that, because its happened before, see, e.g., the ’89 Democracy Movement.
On the other hand, we [*] know how that ended, too.
[*] Unless our information comes exclusively from the CCP-filtered internet, in which case, maybe not.
That's basically the story of 90% of parents in China pre 90s. This is more a continuation than disruption. These kids will play games when they turn into adults and enforce same limitations on their children. Keep in mind curbing video game addiction is something Chinese parents WANT, this is CCP listening to their base. Children don't vote in the west either, their interest are lobbied by adults.
If people can’t express their resent at all, at some point they even stop thinking about it.
