[quote=CHERRY07,336519]Times reports that China could become the first country to classify internet addiction as a clinical disorder. China's Health Ministry is expected to adopt a new manual on internet addiction next year, based on the research of Chinese psychologists. It will recognise the condition as similar to compulsive gambling or alcoholism. Tao Ran, who set up China’s first internet addiction clinic at the Military General Hospital in Beijing, said that he had reached his conclusion by studying more than 3,000 people over four years. A survey conducted by the China Network Information Centre said that about 10 per cent of young users suffer from addiction and of those about 70 per cent are male. China has a large quantity of web users (253 million people) and many younger netizens are inveterate participants in e-games. [/quote]
