The chinese goverment doesn´t care much about their citizens health. 10 to 14 hour workshifts a day, 6 days a week, are often mandatory. Nobody cares if people are commiting suicide because they are mentally broke because of sleep deprivation, depression and exhaustion. Leave alone the daily school drills kids at the age of 5+ have to endure to make themselfs future valuable members of chinese society.
Loosing goverment power and influence because chinese companies get to big and earn to much money is just a no go for this countries leaders and has to be prevented at all costs. China is not a democratic state like Europe, GB or the US is, and probably will never be. And if they have to use their own children to create an imaginary problem as an excuse to officially intervene for their own agenda, they will do it whithout any hesitation.
