Why Chinese Have to Work So Much

Like and subscribe. This is an archive channel, i'm not the owner of the content, check the link in the end. China's workers have some of the longest working hours in the world. Those hours continue to rise year over year and it has a serious effect on their mental, physical and family health.

This brutal Chinese work culture is so common that there is a name for it: 996. 9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week. It is an indication of the brutal work culture that has been adopted by tech companies like Huawei, Alibaba and Tencent.

I had previously did a video about 996. If you have not seen that, go check it out. In this video I wanted to look at some of the big trends causing white collar workers in China (and some other cultures) to find themselves in the office longer.
