The Chinese military is having a hard time letting go of an online-mobile game called \u201cHonor of Kings\u201d, and according to a Chinese military spokesman, it could affect their ability to act.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, The People\u2019s Liberation Army Daily, also known as the official newspaper of the Chinese People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA), stated the game has already infiltrated the daily lives and <\/strong>physical and psychological health of the ones in charge of national security.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonor of Kings\u201d has rapidly become the most popular mobile game in the world, having over 200 million registered players.<\/p>\n

The epidemic started when PLA personnel was allowed to have their smartphones with them in their bunks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Entire platoons are stuck to their cell-phone screen\u00a0playing the\u00a0game which registers over 80 million active daily users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attending online addiction for China PLA<\/h2>\n

A newspaper article from the People\u2019s Daily raised concerns about the health impact caused by this game.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHonor of Kings\u201d<\/a>, it states, has been linked to a decrease in immunity, strength and a strong tendency to be more emotional.<\/p>\n

This has resulted in a dangerous matter for the newspaper as it urged military forces to enrich the lifestyle of its soldiers and vary their hobbies to revert addiction to online and mobile gaming in the PLA.<\/span><\/p>\n

The average age of military service in China is between 18 and 24 years of age.<\/p>\n

As a part of the reaction,\u00a0Tencent Holdings<\/a>, the production house of the\u00a0\u201cHonor of Kings\u201d<\/a>\u00a0game,\u00a0has declared it is close to establishing a new minimum age limit for the game to revert the addiction it has caused in China\u00b4s diverse population<\/span><\/p>\n
