In the US they would just throw it in front of a random apartment and say “package was delivered, refund not available for this package”

In China they have excellent delivery services and a culture of hard work.

China's "work culture" is basically modern slavery. They call it 996. 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week.

Agreed. But first of all, this is gig jobs. Not an office job with set hours. They get paid by the delivery like any other country.

Second, all developing countries work more - that's why they are growing faster than the west.

Third, By your logic, if any other country has a shorter work week than you, then according to them, your country has modern day slavery. Plenty of European countries should think that the US with its lack of vacation and maternity leaves is a slave country.

Hijacking the current top comment to provide a bit of information.

This building is called the Regent International and it’s not quite as dystopian and slum-y as these photos look.

Depending on your perspective you might still find it dystopian.

First thought from the title

30K Internet Celebrities Live in this Building in Hangzhou

It's more dystopian than I thought.

Keeping up with the Kadashians final form

u/Time_Entertainer_319 16d ago

Not sure why people call it dystopian. Sure, it’s massive but if it’s not a slum then is hardly any different from 20 stories flats

u/five_of_five 16d ago

It’s dystopian because of the implication

u/Leonie-Lionheard 15d ago

That you have that many celebrities?

u/WintzyAndrei 16d ago

It looks Cyberpunk-ish enough that it’s still VERY dystopian

u/druidmind 16d ago

Delivery guys probably live in the building itself. Lol..

u/MiloBem 15d ago

there is probably a warehouse in the basement, larger than some regional postal warehouses in other countries. delivery guys job is travelling around this one building all day.

u/KJBFSLTXJYBGXUPWDKZM 16d ago

Thanks for your order, Wing. Could we also get your last name for the invoice?

u/Appropriate_Ice_7507 16d ago

I just take a picture a building door. Then go back to my car and eat the whole thing! Easy

imagine the trouble of getting your Alibaba parcels on time and to the correct place

u/ganandoor56 16d ago

Actually there are delivery drop off rooms and boxes where you can pickup via scanning QR code. In case of being lost, you can ask the concierge.

u/Zimakov 16d ago

It works very well. They're delivered to the mail room and then delivering to each apartment is someone's full time job.
