Check out this news article on Chinese web addicts
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8344002.stm
They estimate 10% of the internet using population is ADDICTED to the internet (Defined as using the internet for more than 6 hours per day and showing little interest in school). I'm pretty sure those kids aren't addicted to the internet so much as they're addicted to online gaming. Maybe if the Chinese government supported free speech and the free flow of information on the internet, these kids would learn to be more socially responsible by studying their role in government and politics on the internet!
Then they wouldn't have to beat kids to death for playing too many games. Right now they're enjoying all the negative aspects of internet (like creating bums who just play games) without any of the positive (the free flow of information and culture)
