QiuShi is the official political theory magazine of the CCP, and they are now openly discussing 内卷, which has many names in English - involution, overproduction, overcompetition, race to the bottom, diminishing marginal benefits, etc. Most people outside of China know the symptoms of it as 996, aka China's recent phenomena of overwork. But really it's just personal and corporate competition taken to the extreme, spreading from the economy to high school students taking gaokao.
It's pretty radical that the government is openly acknowledging this, but also that they are signaling that this is a problem to solve.
