  • Comrade, I have two questions for you:

    Firstly, is there any party position or justification for allowing the ‘996’ work schedule to still exist, or why they don’t mandate lower working hours/ more time off? Surely with the absolutely huge labour force China has, and the fact that many Chinese workers have higher education qualifications now AND the fact that the they have a major youth unemployment issue because companies are incredibly selective and encourage severe competition in the labour market, the easiest solution for the party is to just lower working hours and outlaw ‘996’ regimens, which will encourage companies to hire more workers to fill the gaps in labour hours lost?

    Secondly, does the 48 hour work week also exist in the public sector, or is it mainly limited to the private sector? Also does working for the Chinese public sector grant you additional benefits in the form of extra leave, more overtime pay, free public services etc?
