All states don’t have it, actually. None of the Eurozone states do, for instance, and the US didn’t until 1971.

You don’t seem to be engaging with the content I’ve posted, but here’s one by Gabriel Rockhill anyway: How The Left Should Analyze the Rise of a Multipolar World, China, Russia & BRICS

was never pervasive

Proof?

It was a private tech industry thing, occurring within the relevant special economic zones. The same NATOpedia entry you posted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system#Companies_involved

and the state cracked down on it years ago.

Proof?

Again, the same NATOpedia entry you posted.

Because the Chinese state has fiat monetary sovereignty, it doesn’t function in the capitalist mode. It has no need to make a profit because it has infinite money[1]. It doesn’t need to extract surplus value from workers, and it doesn’t even need to break even. The logic of capitalism doesn’t apply.

Ultras fear the scroll.

“996” was never legal, was never pervasive, and the state cracked down on it years ago.

Yeah, because unlike Israel, Neon 🇮🇱, China has not and is not ethnically cleansing anyone.

They don’t need to prove anything, they have common sense[1][2] on their side.

If you’re a glutton for this kind of stuff, I found philosophy prof. Hans-Georg Moeller’s YouTube series on the media to be illuminating.

I think philosophy prof. Jeffrey Kaplan’s video “Advertising doesn't work the way you think it does” is good as well. It too hinges on what Moeller calls the “general peer,” which he gets deeper into in his series on “identity technology.”
