China solved this years ago with mandatory ID verification to play video games.

This was to prevent children from getting addicted but also leads to real life penalties for cheating in video games.
This a new and exciting use of the word "solved." I don't think I'm completely comfortable with it, possibly due to being raised on a diet of anti-soviet propaganda that spoke of such thing as "freedom" "justice", not sure if people care much anymore but there it is.
In the time span of Nixon to Trump and Mao to Xi, America got caught by China.
The idea of Mao's face or Trump's face on the global reserve currency feels really off.
