SCMP Reporter

Mainland censors have listed 10 'suitable' online video games for  teenagers as part of  a drive to purify cyberspace for the young.
The 10  games were selected by a censorship committee  under the Ministry of Culture from dozens recommended by the  public, Xinhua reported yesterday.
The ministry chose them because they were 'healthy' and could 'enhance intelligence', it said.
The list should help guide  parents so  they can best direct their children during the winter holidays,  the ministry said.  Schools usually  take their winter break some time during January and February.
All  10 games are domestic products, comprising five role-playing games, four recreational games and one educational game. It is the  third time the ministry has issued  such a list. The   others were published in  August 2005 and January 2006, with a total of 25 games listed.
In the past few years,  online video games have become  the most popular pastime for millions of young people.
Censors and  educators argue, however, that this leads to social problems such as an addiction to the internet and juvenile delinquency.
About 9.7 per cent of mainland Net users aged 13 to 30  suffered from internet addiction,  a report issued last month by the China Youth Association for Network Development said.
China's online population had reached 210 million by the end of last year,  putting it on course to become the world's largest.
