The Chinese government has listed their favorite online video games. So now we know what they do all day by the lake in that leadership compound!

Interesting that the China’s official line is “peaceful rise”, but the authorities list “Warring States II” as a favorite!

BEIJING, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) — China’s Ministry of Culture has recommended 10 cyber games that are suitable for minors to play as part of its drive to purify the on-line environment for the young.

They include five role playing games (RPG), four recreation and chess games, and one educational game, such as “Warring States II Online,” “Rainbow Island Online,” and “Wonderlands of learning and games.” These games have made their way into the final recommendation list because they are deemed “healthy” and can “enhance intelligence,” according to the ministry.
