minus-squareQuokkalinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 years agoChina incorrectly places the month before the day as well?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish33•2 years agoWikipedia says China uses Year, Month, Day exclusively, so they do place month before day.
minus-squareQuokkalinkfedilinkEnglish22•2 years agoOh shit yeah ISO 8601, that’s cool. Thought it was like the stupid M/D/Y thing.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 years agoWow ok. Do they do that in practice? Like in Australia we measure everything in metric… except for all the things we measure in imperial.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-22 years agoLive in China, yes it’s consistently applied. But they also spell it out, i.e. today’s date would be 2023年10月4日 (year-month-day / nian-yue-ri), so the order is unmistakably.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•2 years agoWhich incident China? I thought “nothing happened” that day. Seems silly censoring a date that nothing happened on. /S

June Fourth incident is how they refer to it.
