The move follows recent government pledges to address "neijuan," a term referring to a self-defeating cycle of competition where companies invest more resources for diminishing returns. Premier Li Qiang vowed a comprehensive crackdown on neijuan in his recent work report, signaling a broader effort to combat the relentless rat race culture prevalent in many Chinese companies.
