The framing in the first part of the video is really negative, except that the exact same problem of people losing their AI "partners" has occurred in the west as well without any govt intervention – when the company that owns the AI simply pushed a new version of their chatbot. This was widely reported in several waves, entire subreddits were at certain points filled with grieving(?) people who were convinced their partners have been "lobotomised", or erased...

It is absolutely reasonable and good to ban or limit usage of such chatbots. The motivation ascribed to the Chinese govt here is also presented in a tone that suggests it's somewhat weird or manipulative, i.e. the desire to have real people meet and ultimately make babies. Which, sure enough, is fucked up as an excuse to arrest writers of online smut, which has been reported to happen, but in this case it's a good thing for the ordinary people as well.
