      996 is illegal, and was restricted mostly to large tech companies. Modern working hours in China are around 44-48 per week, varying year to year.

        EDIT: I have been proven wrong and what i have said is probably partially false. Thanks to cowbee. My experience is outdated.

        EDIT 2: original comment disappeared

          Again, the practice has been cracked down on, and was largely in bleeding edge tech companies. It isn’t the backbone of the Chinese economy, nor is it the norm.

              I agree that it’s ridiculous to use social media comments as evidence. Chinese workers work on average 46 hours a week. This is a fact, and the median is lower as the sectors 996 was found in before the crackdown raised the average, largely in Beijing and Shanghai, and largely in the tech sector.

                  Unsure where it’s listed, but you can find stats online.

      Hey nerd did you know that every bit of data liberals point to to say “capitalism works and uplifts people from poverty” includes China and if you exclude china suddenly there have been no gains against poverty worldwide for the last, like, 40 years. In fact, weird! Income and wealth inequality have just gotten worse and worse everywhere else! I wonder why that is

      Is it different than working three jobs to just get by in the USA?
