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
You forgot, you have to ignore all the good things China does
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.
Why would you use shit for comparisons? Compare upwards. And why would you inject US into this thread too?
So why aren’t you more bothered
Dude. You USian, right? The egocentric belief that USA must be part of every damn discussion.
Am I to start every post with ‘USA bad’?
US being shit does not make China awesome. Compare upwards. China workers right lags lightyears behind EU. Even if EU enshittifies that, China is not even trying to catch up.

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?

So why aren’t you more bothered by the worse actor that’s been the hegomonic superpower for the past 80ish years?
I refer you to my previous post
