China actually adopted the 8-hour workday in 1930 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day#China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day#China). The 996 policy is a regression which needs to be fought by organized labor, the same way organized labor had to fight (and sometimes die) to get the 8-hour workday.

Workers are able to and do strike illegally when they feel that will improve their situation. https://maps.clb.org.hk/?i18n_language=en_US&map=1&startDate=2023-10&endDate=2024-04&eventId=&keyword=&address=&industry=&parentIndustry=&industryName=%5Bobject%20HTMLInputElement%5D https://maps.clb.org.hk/?i18n_language=en_US&map=1&startDate...
