Chinese Courts Rule Companies Cannot Fire Workers Simply to Replace Them With AI - Judges classify AI adoption as a controllable business strategy rather than an unavoidable disruption, shielding employees from automation-driven layoffs
People always shit on China, not realizing workers have good protection in general.
Besides that unlike the US, China has a strong privacy protection law similar to the European GDPR.
You’ll never hear about this, because that goes against what western propaganda would like you to believe.
Edit : exactly what I was expecting. Commenting ongoing negativity about China. Not talk about illegal wars started by the US, bombing children, the US genocide against the native Americans, slavery. No always the same rinse and repeat. I get it China bad. Like North Korea but worse except for all the advances in technology, infrastructure and medicine.
Never heard of 996 huh? What does the US have to do with any of this anyways? A not insignificant number of us aren’t Americans and so that doesn’t affect us since we don’t work there.
I think its that people see all the shitty things their own country does and realize that its not really and better. Especially if your an American and your tax dollars are used to fund a genocide for Israel and concentration camps in the US. Neither country has any morale high ground.
Same China that has 17% youth unemployment rate and says that the “lying flat” trend is “western propaganda”. Same China that is notorious for 996 where people work from 9am to 9pm 6 days per week?
You know you can be critical of Chinese policy and propaganda without hating China or liking the US. Use your brain dude, stop being a sheep.
If you feel like you need to mention those things on every post mentioning China, maybe the sheep is your mirror.
That’s exactly OP’s point: can’t mention anything positive China does without all the worlders diverting. “Keep buying ICEs, because EVs use Chinese batteries, and you wouldn’t want to fund them!”. Big Oil thank you for your service, now go grab MacDonald’s where employees are treated with the utmost respect. Don’t look up.
You forgot, you have to ignore all the good things China does, highlight all the bad (especially if it’s western fear mongering bullshit), and when you highlight how contextually the US is almost always worse for X reason, remember to “oppose both” when you seem to have way more smoke for the other. This is because “tankies bad” and don’t think about it harder obviously. /s

For it’s workers? China is still behind EU when it comes to workers rights and benefits though? Good for them they are slowly, very slowly progressing in that regard.
E.g. paid time off in China is 5 days a year, +5 for every decade of cumulative work experience; it starts at 4-6 weeks in the EU; China has more of it’s own youth muddled in gig economy then EU (don’t get me started on how exploitative gig work is, it is disgusting any country allows for that practice).
I think lifting that many people out of extreme poverty in that short of time is admirable, and speaks to how recent the rise has been. The fact you’re saying “but they don’t have as good of worker amenities like paid time off of Europe that wasn’t at nearly such a disadvantage” is a wild standard.
Why is it “a wild standard”? We’re taking workers rights. China is a big, wealthy developed country, why would we not expect from it at least good labour laws? The worker exploitation is not admirable. And I detest anyone who says otherwise.

Gee I wonder why people criticize China for treating workers like crap. Is it the sweatshops or the Uyghur camps? It‘s a mystery.
There is a big push for pro China propaganda I keep noticing.
Be smart people, it hasn’t changed from the china you knew five years ago. Same dude still running it.

Probably not the case for the original creator of the post, who seems to live in China.
MBFC for Caixin Global:
Lol MBFC, the website that calls CNN a left leaning source. Might as well ask rats what they think of cats.
Yeah, imagine how horrible it must be for even MBFC to call a site center right.

Even in your one cherry picked metric it’s still beating the US. Incredible.
You’re losing and you know it
How about this metric?
??? Are we having two different discussions?
