And to put the "working hours" thing in perspective, it is typical in cities like Shenzhen to work their programmers 10 hours a day, five and a half days a week. So what sounds like horrible from a Western perspective may not be "too horrible" in the local sense. Remember, all those workers volunteered to work there and they can leave as they want. Sure, it's unbearable for some white collared journalist from Shanghai, but what about someone otherwise would have to plant rice in the field under the sun, or go down a tunnel to mine coal?
