Why Chinese Have to Work So Much

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.
