996 isn’t as prevalent as the West likes to paint it as, but it’s also not as uncommon as you’re saying.
Chinese people work hard, and I know loads of young people who are already burnt out and looking for some kind of escape. They’re not that different from us.

Just ask them out on a date, or if you can buy them a drink, or have a kiss, or if they want to go home with you. You’ll usually get a pretty clear and unambiguous response. Personally I’ve never had trouble from being forward - I think as long as you’re respectful in asking and accept their answer most reasonable people are understanding. I will say it’s a scary tactic at first but you’ll quickly realize respectful rejections aren’t that big a deal anyway.
Another option is asking friends in shared social circles what they think. Signs are often more obvious from the outside.

It’d help the working class if they gave everyone in China a million RMB tomorrow, but obviously they can’t and won’t do that.

Water still passes through them even if it’s slightly reduced while they fill. It’s not like the rivers in India suddenly dry up.

The Shanghai Pudong line was a demo and frankly it failed to sell maglev as a concept, mainly because of NIMBY limitations admittedly, that’s the problem I think.
