China doesn’t enforce the laws against their rich.
For instance they banned 6-12’s, 6 days a week 12 hour a day factory schedules, (naturally for starvation wages,) but the factories still make them work it and the government doesn’t do anything. The law was just so they looked civilized apparently.
It’s not a one off either, their companies routinely dump toxic waste in violation of their laws for instance. Half of their workers in some cities aren’t residents of those cities, and are illegal there. They can be fired, arrested, beaten up, imprisoned, at any time on their employer’s word. Shit is fucked.
The government, nor the Companies, will never change, except to get worse. If the workers want a change, they will have to rise up and take it by FORCE. It is literally the ONLY way it will change.
Regardless of the number, the sheer fact that it’s legal for a company to prescribe a physical punishment is insane.
It’s not.
Phew, thank you. So many folks in here not reading the article and making assumptions
Well at least there’s that. Too bad it had to get that far to even be reported.
It’s incredibly fucked up for sure.
Labour laws in China are very poor and this sadly will not yield to much unless this goes more viral

Founder of failed Chinese property giant sentenced to life in prison
This happened two weeks ago.
China executed 14 people with assets of at least a billion yuan ($155 million) during the past eight years in its aggressive campaign to root out corruption, according to Changchun-based New Culture News.
Americans simply cannot comprehend this kind of policing.
Uh huh, and I’m sure nobody innocent got reeled in there, right?
I’m sure plenty of innocents get caught up, but that’s true in the US too. At least the rich are getting targeted as well.
They execute a billionaire every so often, but it’s very inconsistent
