I’ve heard that working 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week is widely accepted in China. Why is this?

    It’s not.

    It’s prevalent in some industries (and slowly getting squashed even there because it’s causing instability and the Chinese government is badly allergic to instability).

    In my job, my boss doesn’t allow us to work overtime except in emergencies, and then always makes up for the overtime with extra time off later.
