A great wsy to use his celebrity. Very interesting to read through the tweets and see what people on that schedule have to say about it.

In case someone is wondering what 996 means: Expected hours of work are 9 AM to 9 PM, six days a week.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system

I think that's far past the point of being productive.

People's brains just can't function at a high level for so many hours. Maybe a lot of the time is spent socializing, like Japanese salarymen do (e.g. having drinks or eating dinner together).?

I don't think Guido's Twitter has much influence in China.
