As a Chinese, 996 is one of the worst things ever (even though I never had to work that much, I have 40 work week but with super long transport time).
I work 7:30am to 7:30pm, counting commute times, 5 days a week.

Grindcore...for 5 more cents but come home at a empty, cold apartment...have more money for what? Buy a new iphone every month?
And assuming the goal is to achieve victory on the idea of "AI war against China", so what? So what if you won? How does that improve your living conditions? What if it became the new normal? Check out involution in China.
Don't fall for the scam.
