Om Youth and Internet Addiction in China

A form of 'electronic opium' is how some people have characterised young people¿s internet use in China. The problem of 'internet addiction' (wangyin) is seen by some parents as so severe that they have sought psychiatric help for their children. This book contrasts the views of young people who see internet use as a welcome escape from the pressures of contemporary Chinese life, with the approach of their parents, who medicalise internet overuse and insist that working hard for good school grades is the way to progress. The author argues that the greater problem may in fact lie with parents and other authority figures, who misguidedly apply high pressure to enforce young people to conform to the empty values of a modern, dehumanised consumer-oriented society.
