But this is about Chinese companies (like Alibaba) who fuck up Chinese people. Not sure why the first thing you mentioned in this thread was US companies.

Because it is true and Microsoft, which is an USA company is on the title, and hire Foxcomm to do their devices which are manufactured in similar manner.

Microsoft isn't on the title. Some Microsoft employees are. These bad bad normal employees supporting Chinese devs who posted their problems on a site owned by MS!

Esspecially at a deskjob where time seems to slow to a crawl. I'd rather work labor at 996 than do a 996 desk job. 

Damn ,that would drive me insane.

The bad bad company that they work for enable this type of abuse. Not sure why you are trying to focus so much on this though.

I never said he lifted them out of the poverty but his groundwork made it possible. Hitler might have done that, sure, but he managed to ruin it all in 3-4 years, with half the world to follow. This is obviously not the case with China.

Also, I wonder how many people survived nazi persecution, when they stood up against its propaganda machine... Considering Dachau, probably not many.

The so called 'groundwork' that Mao did was hardly responsible for China's rise. Don't get me wrong, Mao was a very important figure for true Chinese unification ever since maybe the Qing dynasty but his "Great Leap Forward" policy ended up being a disaster and his "Cultural Revolution" to persecute the elites made his nation lose a lot of expertise in the process ... 

Mao was good for ending the civil war but after that he very clearly overstayed his welcome so his ideology got in the way of pragmatism which is why his successor Deng Xiaoping, was far more successful at creating wealth by having technical elites at the very helm ...
