Perhaps not Chinese children, but you can bet that Japanese kids are, probably to a larger degree. So do they have the ADD issue that is apparently endemic to American kids?

I think I remember reading an article that said Japanese children watch as much TV as Americans - although the Japanese do much more homework, too :-). Much depends on what the schools are like, and what the culture tolerates.

I also seem to recall (sorry about the vagueness :-) that the Japanese, like the Chinese, are experiencing an increasing problem with youth delinquency and disrespect ... the "little emperor syndrome" of overindulged only children.
