    "....workers were asked to sign a statement promising not to kill themselves and pledging to "treasure their lives".

    Read as "You die and you're fired".

    In China, you have no rights... Not even to kill yourself.

    You do realise that in many countries around the world suicide is illegal and is a criminal offense?

    Wiki says
    "The Suicide Act 1961 (9 & 10 Eliz.2 c.60) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It decriminalised the act of suicide so that those who failed in the attempt would no longer be prosecuted."

    Doesn't matter if anyone has a right to suicide (ethically, I mean; legalities are either in line with an ethic you can logically argue for, or they're just the product of sociological norms and have no meaningful normative merit).

    The only right anyone has to stop people from committing suicide is making their conditions better so that they don't feel that life isn't worth living anymore. Failing that, preventing the suicide is effectively proactively contributing to prolonging that person's suffering.
