Should we ban virtual money?
TO elevate their status in the online gaming world, players often need to purchase virtual currency from gaming companies. They can then use the money to buy weapons or equipment in order to become tougher fighters or more successful players.But Qian Liping, a delegate from Shanghai to the National People's Congress, says that the virtual money can cause young people to become addicted to online gaming. She recently proposed a law that would ban virtual currency. She also proposed setting up a \"morality and ethics committee\" to censor the content of online games.
Qian's proposal has won support from parents who worry that online games endanger their kids' studies. Some commentators also point out that virtual money has caused confusion in reality. Some people trade it for real-world commodities, which could affect the country's financial system.
However, others say that banning virtual currency can't stop young people from becoming addicts to online games. They say that virtual currency is a justifiable means through which online gaming companies can make a profit.
What do you think? Should virtual currency be banned?
