I think part of the way Chinese kitchens keep them non stick is by using huge quantities of oil.
Or at least a huge ladle or two of oil, swirl it around, and pour out into the oil container.
Also regularly deep and shallow frying in it, being constantly in use, scrubbing clean in water without detergent and immediately reusing.
I’ve never got my traditional wok fully non stick either, but I also don’t use it at least 9 times a day.
I would disagree, with a mild steel wok it is all in the initial seasoning, then washing with just water and a wok brush then drying on heat and wipe with oil/dripping.
