I've heard on several occasions that Vietnam and China have a policy where they force companies to hire people beyond what they actually need in order to reduce unemployment. One example was going to restaurants and them having wait staff far in excess of what's actually necessary for the amount of capacity they have.

Does anyone have a name for this, articles about it, etc.?

state-owned enterprises do maintain excess employment in china, and it's probably fairly common practice in other firms as well.

quote:

Chinese film star Fan Bingbing has been ranked last in a report judging A-list celebrities on how "socially responsible" they are, fuelling further speculation about the whereabouts of the actress, who has not been seen in public for more than two months.

The 2017-2018 China Film and Television Star Social Responsibility Report, carried widely by state media outlets, ranks Chinese celebrities according to three criteria: professional work, charitable actions and personal integrity.

It praises celebrities who have become "relatively strong role models", but also highlights cases where it says they have had a "negative" social impact.

But what is most notable is its 0% rating for Fan Bingbing, one of China's biggest stars, who hasn't been seen in public since 1 July when she visited a children's hospital.

The report was authored by academics at Beijing Normal University.

Lol remember when Jrodefeld posted that Cato Institute* article about most economically "free" nations to prove somehow that free market USA was better than socialist hellholes like Canada and didn't realize literal slave states topped the list? And then went on to claim that what happened in the UAE was comparable to minor labor disputes?

she was a massive tax cheat and not being seen in public doesn't mean she was black bagged and sent to a gulag. this post is incoherent

Don't you think it's a reasonable part of a justice system for the authorities to confirm if they're holding a person?
