This is mainly due to China\u2019s high levels of average phone use per day; which is dramatically higher than other countries.In 2015, TNS carried out a study which showed that among Chinese users aged 16-30, the average time of phone use was 3.9 hours, compared to the world\u2019s average 3.2 hours, <a href=\"https:\/\/mt.sohu.com\/20151127\/n428471324.shtml\">ranking second only after Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since 2014, many advertisements aiming to tackle smartphone addiction in China have started to appear. A print campaign that is currently visible in the subway invites Chinese citizens to \u201cput down their phones, stop phubbing, raise their heads to look around and not to let their phones kidnap their real lives.\u201d This ad, designed by a Xi&#8217;an based agency, won the bronze prize in 2016\u2019s China Public Service Advertisement Grand Prix (2016\u4e2d\u56fd\u516c\u76ca\u5e7f\u544a\u9ec4\u6cb3\u5956). A research done on 2000 Chinese subjects by Deloitte in 2015, over 78% of the subjects checked their smartphones more than 11 times per day (58% for more than 11 times, 20% for more than 50 times.)
