Han Feizi) | Teen talks with Han Feizi (pen name: https://asiatimes.com/author/han-feizi/) about the 内卷 (nei juan, or involution), why Chinese are super-productive but financially poor, and whether online China-glazing overlooks the real pain and struggle of Chinese workers who still earn terrible wages.This was a recorded Twitter space.
