The meme I'm seeing everywhere is that with so many Americans joining RedNote, Americans are discovering how much Chinese people are paying for healthcare, food or property, and Chinese people are discovering things like 40 hour work weeks and actually having a holiday from time to time - so now the question is whether US or China bans it first.

Does China not have holidays? Us isn't great there with a total of 7 federally recognized holidays.

The 666 workweek(6 days a week 6 am till 6pm) is definitely real in some companies and it's a big problem with work culture especially in tech. But in general I'm sure they do holidays.

China also has 7 main federally recognized holidays. Although, one interesting thing they do is "weekend shifting" where they move the official work days near, e.g. the Spring Festival so that people get a full week of holiday (at the cost of a longer workweek or a one-day weekend right before/after it): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_China#Weeke...
