How China Is Taking Control of Video Gaming

Subscribe to Heritage ExplainsSubscribe

Video game use is skyrocketing all across the world, and China continues to gain ownership of game developers and companies. That means, behind your child’s favorite video game is the Chinese Communist Party’s attempt to influence and also steal your private data. On this episode, we talk about China’s increased interest in international gaming, how they harvest user data, use game stories to change historical context for learning, and why it’s imperative that parents and gamers take an active role in curtailing what’s played online.
