This is a very obviously AI written article, I don't get why these newspapers think that this is the future. Just look at this, but this style is all over the entire article: "Graphics cards are typically the most expensive components in a computer. So, when you get your hands on one for free, it's like the universe finally throwing a bone at you, rewarding you for years of kindness and suffering. Then, if that GPU suddenly gets enveloped in a legal feud, you start to second-guess your alliances, shattering loyalties in a moment"
to be fair, he quit because he (rightly!) disagreed with the company's petty-minded insistence that the prize belonged to them, not because he valued a graphics card over his internship.
...some mockingly asking whether the firm would've maintained the same tenacity and reimbursed the Intern had he been fined 50,000 RMB at the event instead

It sounds like he quit because HR told him to:
> HR then told the intern to "look for another company," and he submitted his resignation that night.
Salaries for interns in China are low enough that a 5060 is a huge deal.
I quit a company because they tried to appropriate points on my credit card gathered by their business travel.
This is an extremely salient point:

Who are the amorphous blob of Chinese netizens who control the cultural dialogue in the world?
Dunno, but I like the Chinese Doomscroll substack for a daily glimpse into what they're talking about. https://substack.com/@weibo
Company should plainly be banned from the event thereon.
Dear Penthouse...
I would shit in the box and hand it over to Finance.
I find that very difficult to believe
I envy your optimism
Well, you can send me a graphics card and find out.
