How did the Internet become "opium"? China's Internet is highly entertaining

What is the biggest difference between Chinese and American netizens? At yesterday's Boao Forum, Google Global Vice President Kai-Fu Lee said that while American netizens are mostly "searching" the web, domestic residents are more engaged in "exploring" it. Data collected by Google shows that Americans spend an average of 10 seconds on a search results page, whereas domestic users stay for 30 to 60 seconds. Kai-Fu Lee analyzed that the average age of Chinese netizens is only 25 years old, and they pay more attention to entertainment and community interaction online, so it takes longer when searching for this kind of content.

It should be said that Kai-Fu Lee's remarks are "value-neutral," but regarding this fact, many domestic internet experts are deeply concerned. Media reports have said that the proportion of entertainment on China's internet is much higher than in Western countries. At a science and technology forum I attended, Dr. Wang Yuefei, a researcher at the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that if we turn a blind eye to the tendency towards entertainment on domestic networks, then the internet could become the "opium" of the 21st century.
