And some people still think that China is communist. Nah it's just capitalism with a different flavor. Same goes for Vietnam which recently joined some wacky ass organisation of a certain orange American neoimperialist.

China is what the US is turning into, except the US doesn't have any good infrastructure.

Trump is the shit version of Xi Jinping (literally).

Vietnam is just a Chinese work around for US tariffs.

His 'fainting' was likely cardiac arrest. It sounds a lot like heart attack symptoms.

I have heard of this happening to people in the US who work in finance. It's never 'overwork' here. It's just a heart attack from poor life style choices.

Some lucky manager just found his bottom 5% for the force ranked annual review. /s

Seriously, if you've ever managed in large corporation, you'll understand this.

Known as 過労死 (karoshi) in Japan, sadly not a new concept. This is the result of the misconception that working harder will yield better results - it only leads to stagnation and ruin. Hoping that more people will realise this and initiate some change in the work culture; not only in Asia, but in the West too... The work culture in both the US, UK and many parts of the EU needs some serious overhaul.

"But China is a communist utopia!!! It's a dictatorship of the proletariat! Any criticism of the CCP is western propaganda!!!"

We’ve all seen some of the cool elements on RedHat. I especially like the local farmer trucks rolling through towns with fresh veggies. And watching how much easier it is to grow tea there than in my backyard.

But let’s not play pretend.
