I have friends doing 996 (which is illegal, but not everyone wants to go through the trouble of taking their company to court when they’re already well paid), and they get about 4 hours of breaks a day. They’re doing about 8 hours of work, with a long morning break, a long lunch, and a long dinner break. Their lunch breaks are longer than my paid and unpaid breaks combined.
In some carers people do, but the people in the article say they’re doing 9 to 5 which is the most common by far working hours in China due to strict overtime laws.
China has a different work culture to Korea and Japan, 9 to 5 is very common in China. China does have live in factories you’ve probably heard of but most of these are 9 to 5 work day also with many people studying after work at the combined college.
China is a lot more banal and boring than most people want to paint it.
I’m pretty sure they’re working a lot more than 9 to 5
