Don't know about other disciplines, but 996 should be no problem for passionate young coders. Some would even work through the night to finish coding a procedure or function before the spark of a new idea is gone the next morning. Must also not forget debugging code is very time consuming and frustrating.

These companies are wasting their time, i have it on good authority that the Chinese do not need air conditioning.
Looks like IBM is shutting down all of their China R&D operations and laying off about 1000 Chinese employees. They’re shifting the whole center to India. I think other companies in China will be able to absorb the laid off employees depending on what specific R&D they were working on.
According to some one who has connections with the software industry in China, IBM has moved the R&D work back to the US for years. All those affected in this round of layoffs were effectively testers, not researchers as we usually think.
