An education company in China has come under fire for requiring employees to " South China Morning Post writes about this.

One of the company’s employees said that during team-building activities, colleagues had to put burning cotton wool in their mouths. The girl did not want to join the fire-swallowing process, but complied because she was afraid of losing her job..

60 people took part in this team building, divided into six groups. The purpose of the event was to show the company management the determination of its employees, who are aimed exclusively at winning. However, an employee of the company where she worked for about a year said that she was scared and the process itself was humiliating.

As noted, many Chinese companies use the method of “swallowing fire” to unite the team, claiming that it increases self-confidence, helps overcome fear and unlocks potential. At the same time, according to Chinese law, companies that use unreasonable practices that violate the rights of employees are required to compensate for the damage caused..

SCMP writes that reports of mistreatment of employees during team-building events are coming from across China. One company in the southwest of the country forced losing workers to crawl down the street late at night.. Previously, a firm in eastern China forced its employees to kiss trash cans and hug strangers in public to boost their courage..

In addition, employees of one of the corporations had to stand at a height of more than two meters, close their eyes and fall backwards, trusting their colleagues that they would be caught.

Let us recall that in the city district of Baoding in the Chinese province of Hebeiw, the Xiong'an district has been built for more than seven years. It is designed for five million residents and should “unload” Beijing.

Focus also wrote that the city of Chongqing, home to 32 million people, is striking in its unique structure. In this largest city in the world, some people have never seen the sun.
