Internet games are a new form of gambling, which is corrupting millions of teenagers in China, says an article in Oriental Morning Post. Excerpts:

We have to admit that human beings have weaknesses, and one weakness is the strong dependence on certain types of activities, such as sex, drugs and gambling.
