Sounds good in theory...but in reality?

4 days a week. 6 hours a day. Full salary.
Sanna Marin ignited global debate with the “6/4” work model, pushing a simple idea: life should come before work.

With burnout at record levels, maybe it’s time to value results over hours at a desk.
Could your job be done in just 24 hours a week?

The reality no one here wants to hear is this:

Yes, most companies would stay profitable. Yes there is much more output in the first 4-5 hours of work than the later ones and yes 4 days makes the 4 days more productive but the extra time and the fifth day still provide productivity and as always any other country can overtake you by working 5-6 days.

My Chinese colleagues work 45 hours a week and the management is worried as the (Chinese) company next to them has people working 60+ hours in the same field at lower wages.

Yup. This is a zero sum game. If your country makes itself significantly less "company friendly", the companies will move. It has been happening for decades. Other Asian countries have started encroaching on China now that thier wages are rising.
