UE a găsit un aliat neașteptat în China pe fondul tensiunilor comerciale cu Beijingul

The EU finds unexpected support from Chinese workers amid trade tensions, as they express dissatisfaction with excessive overtime, which critics claim gives Chinese exporters an unfair advantage. The EU has set a deadline for China to address trade imbalances affecting its industries. The EU's forced labor regulation resonates with Chinese workers, who have long complained about the '996 culture'. Despite censorship, discussions about labor rights are gaining traction online, reflecting concerns over the labor market. Analysts note that while companies may ignore domestic disputes, they are wary of losing access to Western markets. The average Chinese worker exceeds the legal limit of 44 hours per week, highlighting inadequate labor rights protection.
