    China’s 996 extreme work culture turns a lot of people off. Chinese culture is a frantic race to work, work, work so you can become an ATM for your family members who never offer a word of thanks.

    Seems like the courts ruled 996 illegal as of last August. That, plus the way Jack Ma got thwacked, might suggest reform on the horizon. That said, point taken. That work schedule sounds insane.

    Meanwhile Americans aren’t exactly lining up to immigrate to China.

    Eh. America's a big place, and lots of people consider internal migration easier and more lucrative than external migration. So you move from Texas to California (or California to Texas). As I understand it, internal migration in China is a lot harder.

        I mean, if its the standard at Alibaba...

        That's like saying "Amazon Warehouses aren't the norm". Just the industry leader's way of doing business?
