    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on how ending 996 working hour system might align with the Chinese government's broader goals for national development and how the new regulation might even serve the interests of the industry's leaders. Topics include blocking Wi-Fi and 4G connections in bathrooms to discourage employees from dawdling on their phones, lack of concern for employee well-being, government's concern for labor rights, alleviating the problem of aging population, and an increase in the number of farmers on each plot of land resulted in diminishing output for each farmer.
