Chinese women have been sharing their experiences receiving phone calls from government workers and officials, during which they are asked invasive questions about family planning and whether or not they are pregnant.
In large part yes, but younger generations are also not especially motivated to have kids when they already have to deal with a soul-crushing workplace (much worse than in the west).
There is one mega-union (the only permitted one) with officials appointed by the CCP. It’s essentially a sham, like the non-CCP parties in Congress that are nominally a type of opposition but can never hold any real power.
And yes, it is ironic and sad. Nordic countries are more communist than China is. China doesn’t even have truly free healthcare like Canada etc.
Chinese Unions are a joke, it is common practice that union preventatives would trying to convince you to be more understanding of your boss.
It’s a well known joke that the only reason Chinese Union exists is to prevent real unions to form (you want a worker union? but we already have one, go talk to them).

The famous 996, they have this work culture from 9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week. Good luck having any power left after such a week.
I thought that was Japan.

Oh God really? My work is already pretty soul crushing, I couldn’t imagine
Yeah, it’s bad. There are fewer worker protections and unions are illegal.
Unions are illegal in a Communist state? That’s hilariously ironic and sad.

You see, it’s not communism, but communism with Chinese ideals (therefore whatever the heck the CCP wants it to be)
