Both 996 and Lying Flat are problematic cultural ‘memes’ of Chinese labor ethos.
The Chinese government officially opposes both tendencies. The private enterprise sector is less regulated and the government has both corruption problems and disincentives/conflicts over enforcement. Their social credit system is likely being used to suppress Lying Flat.

Now reflect on labor conditions in the USA. Shit ain’t good here either.
