    996 is illegal in China. Employers caught violating the law are prosecuted when found out, to my understanding.

        So, is this like a vibes based comment or do you know something about this?

          I did a web search:

          https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2025

          According to this site, China is in a four-way tie ranked 76 of 181 countries measured in terms of corruption (lower is better). It scored 43 of 100 on their “Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI)” (higher is better).

          I think the parent post has merit, as China is notably more corrupt than many similarly sized western world countries. (But my afternoon web search is far from authoritative or definitive).
