The proposed 5 age groups are:
Default time limits are (parents can exempt all time limits):
Apps not subject to time limits:
Content providers are also required to provide age-based service under "minor mode". You can find the recommendations for different age groups under the heading "五、移动互联网应用程序未成年人模式要求(一)基本要求", it's too long for me to translate.
