I’m not sure where they get hat info. Both countries have a ton of regulation. India has labor unions (China is a totalitarian dictatorship, so clearly doesn’t allow anything that isn’t pro-Party).

There’s enforcement, but it’s uneven. What both countries DO have is a functioning system of bribery that lets the very rich get away with much. But that can be said of many countries.
