> Urban workers in China do 3,744 hours per year
For reference, that's 10:15 per day, 365 days a year.
Or 996 without vacations, if you intend to have one day off.
996 has never been a standard work duration for urban workers in China, aside from some tech companies that promoted performative work ethics. And even there, people do take vacations.
