Jack Ma is a massive hypocrite IMO. In another speech Jack Ma said:

"Independent thinking, teamwork, care for others, these are the soft parts.
Knowledge may not teach you that. That's why I think we should teach our kids
sports, music, painting, art -- making sure humans are different from
machines."

Yeah, the FIRST thing you need to do to do that is to end this 996 horror. 996
IS treating humans like machines. People already have kids and parents to care
for; if you want them to engage in sports, music, painting, art, they need
normal work hours.
