  Oh look, it's like slavery but it's imposed by people within your own ethnic sub group so it must be ok. Communism has as one of it's basic fundamental principles the reduction of large numbers of people into just another resource for the state. Chinese owned companies are just extensions of the state. You can try to turn humans into drones but it's never gonna work out. The western work weeks might be much maligned, but they were organized around the natural working and rest cycles of people.

  Before I retired from a large American company I routinely worked 70 to 80 hours a week.

  Low wages are not the defining measure of success in business.
  
  If anyone recalls the Japanese were kicking our ass in the 70's and 80's in manufacturing quality and price. Japanese workers had great dedication and used certain managerial techniques that made them successful. The well run United States companies did what was required to succeed, we learned and adopted those things that work to compete...and did! This is just the next stage of international competition.
  
  Plenty of low wage countries produce crap that doesnt even show up on anyone's radar because there is low demand for poor quality products.
  
  bidirect you have a talent for posting silly non-factual stuff. China was not even a serious player in the 80's. But if you equate all Asians as Chinese this "rounds-out" your public image (pun intended)

  When Jack Ma, the chinese jeff bezos, began pushing 996 crap, the Chicomm government spoke against but took no action against it. This is because they know that true Communism will always fail. However, since America subsidized them for decades, they have found a sustainable form of communism which depends on what is essentially slave labor to export unimaginable amounts of goods to free countries where the citizenry will purchase these goods.
  
  The only solution is for everyone to mKe the hard decision to boycott enablers of the ChiComm government - Apple, Amazon, Disney (Marvel, Star Wars, Nat Geo), ESPN, the NBA, whatever studio produces Transformers, Dwayne Johnson (remember Skyscraper?), and more. We also need a government to take a hard line against military expansionism and unfair trade practices (like Trump did). The final, and most dangerous but necessary steps to castrate China would be to withhold funding for all UN and international agencies which they control and delete all bonds and US debt held by the ChiComms. I would also suggest formally recognizing the Republic of China, but that would escalate into a shooting war overnight, the utter destruction of Japan and RoC in a week, and nuclear holocaust in less than a month.
