This sentence cites the wrong law. Official text of the Labour Law of the People's Republic of China states in Article 36 that laborers shall work "no more than 44 hours a week on the average." By contrast, Article 36 of the Labor Contract Law of the People's Republic of China is about dissolving a labor contract by mutual agreement, not weekly working-hour limits.

Official Beijing government sources identify Haidian as Haidian District, one of Beijing's districts, not as a separate city. The Beijing municipal government page says "Haidian District is located in the northwest of Beijing," and the Haidian district government also presents itself as the "Haidian District People's Government of Beijing Municipality."

Official and high-quality reporting show two different milestones:

1. The policy concern started in 2024: Caixin reports that the issue was first raised at the late-July 2024 Politburo meeting.
2. Qiushi's article came later: a State Administration for Market Regulation page reproducing the Qiushi piece shows it was published on 2025-07-01 and explicitly says the 2024 Central Economic Work Conference had already raised the issue.

So it is inaccurate to say that in 2024, in Qiushi, the CCP identified neijuan as a macroeconomic concern. The 2024 concern and the 2025 Qiushi publication are separate events.

Official textbook information contradicts this blanket statement. A county government notice for public-school teaching materials lists junior secondary physics textbooks for Grade 8 and junior secondary chemistry textbooks for Grade 9. The Ministry of Education's 2024 national compulsory-education textbook catalog likewise lists physics materials including Grade 8 volumes. That means it is wrong to say schools do not introduce chemistry and physics until the third year of junior secondary school: chemistry may begin in Grade 9, but physics is introduced earlier.
