996 is illegal and largely found in big tech companies in Beijing and Shanghai. The average work week in China is 46 hours.
that fact that china is unable to stamp out this cultural phenomenon of overworking yourself for some theoretical benefit makes me wonder if it’ll ever go away.

What makes you say unable to? The CPC, as impressive as what they’ve accomplished is, are not gods. They are actively cracking down on and reducing it. It isn’t a cultural phenomenon, but a material one caused by the ongoing contradiction between capital and the socialist system, one which is being steered by the CPC along the socialist road.
