The Chinese billionaire and co-founder of the online shopping giant Alibaba has continued to argue for a 9am to 9pm working day, and a six-day week.

Jack Ma's backing for the so-called "996 system" is being hotly debated in the Chinese media.

Last week, Mr Ma wrote that without the system, China's economy was "very likely to lose vitality and impetus".

His stance was backed by fellow tech entrepreneur Richard Liu, the boss of ecommerce giant JD.com.

On Friday, Mr Ma called the opportunity to work 996 hours a "blessing".

Mr Liu said years of rapid economic growth in China had boosted the number of "slackers".

this is a demonstration that, unlike capitalism where workers are alienated from their labor and are miserable, workers are happy to go to their job under socialism. And will dance in celebration of their many accomplishments.

I don’t buy that any phone has this high quality of a zoom with so little shake tbh.

And I mean if it did then whatever I guess privacy has been dead as a concept for decades if it ever existed at all and some phone camera isn’t gonna change that.

quote:

Chinese state media also slammed those companies that make staff put in long hours at the office, without referencing Ma's post directly. "Advocating hard work and commitment does not mean forcing overtime," wrote state-run newspaper People's Daily in a commentary published Sunday. "The mandatory enforcement of 996 overtime culture not only reflects the arrogance of business managers, but also is unfair and impractical."

Syndicalism literally means unionism in French they're synonyms
