Chinese new year is usually 10 days.
And it's by far the largest holiday taken. Outside that period you are 
liable to et them to work 8 days a week, sometimes 9.

That said, it depends how westernised the firm has got. Some work Sundays 
without a qualm while others actually do do 40 hour weeks. Then others I've 
seen do 7 day 70 hour weeks ... .

FWIW: I'll be back in China just after the new year celebrations end.
