Short-video and online video websites like Douyin, Bilibili and Kuaishou have offered youth modes that restrict the type of content shown to young people and the length of time they can use the service. Officials are also pushing for children to see more educational material, such as science experiments.
抖音、哔哩哔哩和快手等短视频和在线视频网站提供了青少年模式，该模式限制了向年轻人展示的内容类型和他们使用该服务的时长。有关官员也在推动孩子们看更多的教育材料，比如科学实验。
The latest restrictions would affect Tencent, China's largest online game company, and ByteDance, which runs popular short-video platform Douyin. The government pressures companies in China to enforce rules.
