我國成立網絡遊戲道德評估委員會

China has set up an assessment committee to make sure online games meet a certain code of ethics, in a bid to provide the public with healthy entertainment products and protect adolescents from the negative impact of online gaming, said the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.

中國共產黨中央委員會宣傳部近日表示，我國已經成立了一個評估委員會，以確保網絡遊戲符合一定的道德規範，爲公衆提供健康的娛樂產品，保護青少年免受網絡遊戲的負面影響。

Comprised of online gaming experts and researchers from the government departments, industry institutions and media outlets, the committee will be in charge of evaluating online game contents that may arouse social concerns and those that already stirred controversies.

由來自政府部門、行業機構和媒體的網絡遊戲專家和研究人員組成的這個委員會，將負責評估可能引起社會關注和已經引起爭議的網絡遊戲內容。

The committee will provide online gaming regulators with references in policy-making and direct gaming companies to take social responsibilities and adhere to social ethics.

該委員會將爲網絡遊戲監管機構提供決策參考，並指導遊戲公司承擔社會責任，恪守社會道德。

Based on a recent assessment of 20 games conducted by the committee, regulators asked online gaming producers and operators to make adjustments to 11 games and adjust the controversial contents in them. Nine games were denied approval.

根據該委員會最近對20款遊戲進行的評估，監管機構要求在線遊戲生產商和運營商對11款遊戲進行調整，並調整其中有爭議的內容。9款遊戲被否決。

China is witnessing massive growth in its online gaming market, which reached 235.5 billion yuan (about 34.3 billion U.S. dollars) last year, according to data from the Cyberspace Administration of China.

中國的網絡遊戲市場正在經歷着巨大的增長，根據中國網絡空間管理局的數據，去年中國的網絡遊戲市場達到了2355億元人民幣（約合343億美元）。

The fast-booming industry, however, also aroused social concerns such as the negative impact of inappropriate content and gaming addiction, which was listed as a mental disorder by the World Health Organization this year.

然而，這一快速發展的行業也引起了社會的關注，如內容不當和遊戲成癮的負面影響，今年被世界衛生組織列爲一種精神疾病。
