Imagine everything being in walking distance and clean too. China needs to be nuked.

    Well maybe I'm wrong but I thought they had a saying "996" which refers to working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. Japan has "Karōshi" which is death by overwork.

    I think if a culture comes up with a word or saying on how terrible the work culture is it is usually a bad sign. There's plenty of evidence for both being true as well. For instance bytedance was on 996 until 2021. Now bytedance in particular has moved away from that working model but the point still stands, I think China and Japan have terrible work cultures in general.

    Both countries have a lot of work to do in this category.

      996 is a fairly recent system implemented by companies - it's not part of chinese culture, it's capitalists attempting to exploit their workers, and has been deemed illegal by the Supreme People's Court.
