    • Up to 24 million Chinese youths are addicted to the internet – and half of those are “obsessed” by online games. Treatment centres have popped up around the country, aiming to ‘cure’ these young people from their terrible affliction.
    • Understandably, it’s not what you’d call fun – and last week, a group of inmates at the Huai’an Internet Addiction Treatment Centre decided they’d had enough of the “monotonous work and intensive training”. Working together, they tied their duty supervisor to his bed and made a run for it.


      The 14 patients, aged from 15 to 22, hailed a taxi to take them to a nearby town in east China’s Jiangsu province – but were uncovered when the driver took them to the police station instead, suspicious of the identically-dressed young men who were unable to pay the fare.
