I don't think this will make China more open, because even banning Huawei did not make China reflect on its open policy. IMO, Huawei is more close to Chinese government compred to Bytedance, and I saw much less comments from top officer or state-owned medias about this acquisition compraed to that about Huawei.
In China, "996"(9am-9pm, 6 days a week)[0] is popular in tech companies, now more and more compnanies are adopting this work schedule, so employees have much fewer choices if they want a "normal" schedule. The administration did not enforece labour laws well in order to pursue economic interests. What makes it worse is that, as this work schedule becomes a trending, some companies and employees take it as granted.
