996 is illegal as fuck by chinese employment laws but enforcement of this can be slow unfortunately. No government is going to be completely without gaps and slow movement, especially when these companies skirt around the rules and say "Oh it's not compulsory, we're not actually making it a rule" although to anyone with half a brain it's obvious that the workers aren't provided a choice otherwise.
It takes time to get reported, it takes time to do a deeper investigation of the business, it takes time to patch up the laws if it's being exploited around, etc.
i thought regulations were better in blue collar labor industries because there are actual consequences if you don't let people (who mostly live together in dormitories) rest
as opposed to white collar work where you have alienated people just keeling over after like two consecutive weeks of insufficient sleep
I thought the benefit of a one party system was you didn’t have to futsch around jerking off technocrats to get shit done and just be like “do this or I gulag you”?
At the end of the day you generally want to avoid just gulaging people if they aren't breaking any written laws unless it's an extreme example regardless of how much control you have. Having your citizens constantly live in fear of being punished even when they aren't breaking any rules isn't a good country.
Bs aside I do think they could get away with being more proactive against this. I mean they’ve already gotten away with executing several billionaires what’s a few more to the list?
There have been protests such as this https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/technology/china-996-jack-ma.html obviously don't take NYT fully at their word but you can get the gist

I mean if this practice is outlawed and companies are still doing it they’re breaking the law so to the gulag it is.
Like I said they often skirt around it because it's not technically compulsory. They avoid violating the actual rule.

Hope they outlaw the optional loophole then. Have any workers gone on strike over it?
