China is the first country to label internet addiction a clinical disorder. “Web Junkie” exposes a Beijing rehab center where teenagers are being "deprogrammed" and forced to undergo military-inspired physical training and must comply with monitored sleep and food standards. Questions about the nature of addiction and emotional attachments come to the fore in this microcosm of modern Chinese life.
