The 996 schedule is illegal under Chinese labor law and has been for years. It went up to the court system and the legislative system and the workers in every case were supported in their labor claims.
As for billionaires, I've said this before in other comments, I'll say it again here - The communist revolution in China was very explicit about its collaboration with the national bourgeoisie. It's quite open about it, as communists do not hide their intentions and speak openly about their strategy. The Chinese strategy was experimental, drawing from the failures of past revolutions and developing a theory based on them, it implemented an experiment of cross-class collaboration while maintaining a dictatorship of the proletariat. Creating on-paper billionaires is easy when you have a stock market and you've opened it up to Western speculators. In fact, if you're doing it right, you're guaranteed to get billionaires. The question is not whether there are billionaires but whether the state is promoting the interests of the proletariat. Billionaires are a side show.
The 100-million-member CPC is predominantly farmers and blue collar workers. The party is constantly punishing the rich for corruption. They've literally executed the rich for harming the masses through negligence and profit-seeking.
Billionaires are not contradictory with the process of building communism. Billionaires will be impossible under communism since there won't be money. The process of building socialism is what we're all currently working through as a species.
