This seems to be China's version of "crunch". It's primarily a tech sector thing as China's legal working day is 955 (same as most of the world). If there's an organized resistance to crunch in China and it succeeds, I think it could put a lot of pressure on Western workers to do the same. Would be weird realizing that you're working harder than "cheap Chinese workers" for less pay.
Yeah I'm definitely not on the "China needs to immediately abolish all remnants of capitalism" train. What they're doing is working but 996 is definitely far too excessive to allow any reminients of. I doubt Mao would have stood by that
Hell no. It's good that the workers seen to be standing up for themselves at least. Tech work tends to be scabbier than most other professions, probably because the pay is so much higher.
I hope cracking down on illegal scheduling practices like this is on the party's to do list.
The official repo is interesting. They seem to be pushing for an open source license that includes a provision for labor rights which is interesting...
It's definitely not a revolutionary socialist movement, but it's still a net positive. Encouraging working abroad is odd though. Especially because crunch and "freeform" scheduling is basically the standard in tech everywhere. Hell in California you basically live in your office.
Time for another cultural revolution (done right)?

Yeah a lot of it is work culture too which is why I think another, better handled, cultural revolution would be dope.
Give the workers a chance to have some fun struggle sessions with their bosses who promote those bourgeoisie work ethics
