ROFL this thread is hillarious. OP sure picked the wrong instance to ask their question.

(For fuck sakes: Please do not ask questions (expecially questions that may involve politics) in TankieLiteEdition.ml, aka: lemmy.ml)

    Legitimately, though I’d love it if a tankie was brave enough to come into this thread to explain why Western nations have better working conditions and more worker rights than those of China.

      Fr fr. My parents literally have a 1.5x bonus for working overtime, more breaks (still not a lot, but proportionally its more than the jobs they had before in China), actual work safety (well idk what this administration is gonna do, but there are still some state laws in place), and its overall less work hours they had to work compare to China, also Unions. And my father had trouble finding a job in China. Also, there’s no protection against discrimination for older people, so if you look “old” they could straight up use that as an excuse to not hire you, and you have zero recourse. And sometimes in temporary layoffs, my parents can apply for unemployment compensation in the US, unemployments benefits are unheard of in China.

      There are of course places better than the US (probably those in the EU), but PRC is not one of them.
