Hey Guys, I hope everyone here is doing well.

I just saw a speech of german chancellor Friedrich Merz talking about how Germans need to work harder and longer to keep up their ‘lifestyle’ after seeing China.

Now I wonder, what are the workers rights in China like?

I somehow can’t imagine, that it’s still on a third world level, where people are forced to work 12h a day to have a basic life.

Can you guys link me good articles about it or share your knowledge?

Thanks in advance!

    Iwworked in China. Workers have great rights on paper. However, long hours are normalized in white collar work. I found it a bit shocking.

    Also, talk of unionizing would be scandalous
