      Lets just say that i wish my chinese suppliers worked “996”, them mfers have vacations every other week. Still China is just way to big, i bet there are many places working under that schedule. That’s thr thing with China, it’s scale is so big that you can find literally cases about anything.

        That’s a very good point, and I trust your experience as well. Yeah, any Western journo can find a case study somewhere.

      as of what i was told a few years ago:

      • used to be quite common
      • rare now in almost every sector
      • steadily disappearing from the few sectors it’s still common in
      • it’s mostly tech

        Thank you!

        Yeah, I expected this.

        My Chinese WeChat friends don’t work this long.

          It was officially made illegal in 2021, but yes many Chinese people still do it especially in tech like Horse said above.

      To be clear, I’m not saying China is perfect and I don’t expect it to be, just wondering if this is an issue in China and in what sectors.
