Nope, normally people get 5 vacation days and few more for those who have worked for longer like 10+ years. The week long holiday right now is for their national holiday and it's really 3 public holidays with other days off made up of a weekend and having to work on a different weekend instead

I spoke to some brands about the resurgence of portable CD players, one interesting reason given is that the local audiophiles in China seem to have made it a trend to support music artists by purchasing CDs as opposed to paying for streaming services. Some also seem to have become jaded against streaming in general, be it with some albums/songs being made not available with short notice or simply preferring to own a local copy.
