China is planning to ban minors from spending money to support celebrities

at the precise moment when Lisa make her comeback, What a coincidence ...

F * the government system

Lisa's fandom is their first target

wouldn't minors just use their parents card for it

Yeah I don't really know how you can see if it's an adult or not - unless they are asking for a ID or something.

Yeah, they already cancelled some survivial shows

and QQ has done things to stop mass buying

Dont know how it will affect KPOP-Bars until Lisa + NCT 127 drop,

Quote from bartkun

sometime minors got those semi-cards?

like parents will go to underaged kid to bank

kid is 15-16 and there is special type of bank account for teenagers

in Poland there is this kind of account for teens which are at least 14 years old, account is created in bank by parents, and then parents can wire money to kiddo's account and he/she can do it with it whatever wants

There is something like that in France, but you can't use it for online purchases

But most kids dont even have a bank account. How are they even going to effectively enforce this rules?

wait ok so how do minors buy stuff online without parent's money?

(sarcasm) do children in china have jobs the instant they are born?

issa bit of a weird move on the gov't's part.

The "minor" part is purely cosmetic.

true that

How will they check age? Most minors spend their parents money.

they’ll just prevent bulk buying and limit to one album per order per person. East Asia is tracked, tagged and ID’d to the max, you need a verified phone # or QR code connected to your private information to do shit online

we'll see what happens when it happens I guess...the directive isn't law yet as far as I know but a directive from the government department in charge...

People are so quick to be like “Ha, those annoying teenagers won’t do these things now” to not see how much of a huge human rights violation this is

And coming from China/the CCP at that who will ban like anything they see as an inconvenience

I don't think anyone thinks that China is doing that because they are worried about teenagers spending too much.

I wouldn't say it's a big human rights violation, but China is acting toward kpop the same way it acted toward manga. They really don't like cultural influence from foreign nations in their country, that's for sure.

Whether it's law or not is just a minor formality if you're familiar with how things work in China.

I do (somewhat) but how it's going to be enforced or how it works in practice is what I was getting at...

China wants their people to only idolize their govt and not celebrities, especially from other countries
