i’m curious to get some concrete data wrt to worker rights/labour legislation in prc: is it as bad as it’s often perceived in the west? has anything changed recently? there’s a weird duality to it in my perception, on one side it’s a relatively happy nation, but on the other side there is the crazy 996 work schedule, poor safety net that’s largely substituted by investment in housing etc 🤔

    You’re getting a lot of downvotes, but nobody commenting with counter points. Everything you said sounds wrong to me, but I genuinely have no idea.

      I think some of it might just be a base reaction of “ooh china bad no way it could be good at all I’m gonna downvote this and leave”, especially considering I found this post from sorting by hot on ‘all’. I dont doubt there is some exaggeration of how bad china is, but I agree that there is no way it’s as good as the one commenter is saying, however I have no sources or points either.
