China should impose a four-day work week just to dunk on the imperial core.

Or maybe instead of dunking China should do something that actually helps the workers of greece, who might need all the solidarity they can get.

China never will lol, they’re suppressing wage growth in the middle and lower classes to find businesses and corporations. The capitalist infection has spread to ‘socialist’ countries too, unfortunately.

That may be true, but has nothing to do with work hours and rights in China. They are opposite of great.

Most of the rural poverty problems in china are still from the outdated Hukou system. It's probably the biggest hurdle China has to much more universally distributed wealth in the country.
