China incorrectly places the month before the day as well?
25 24 Replyprayer @lemmy.world Wikipedia says China uses Year, Month, Day exclusively, so they do place month before day.

Oh shit yeah ISO 8601, that’s cool.
Thought it was like the stupid M/D/Y thing.

Live 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.

hypelightfly @kbin.social So one of the only countries that does it correctly. (Day Month Year is just as wrong as Month Day Year)

roguetrick @kbin.social June Fourth incident is how they refer to it.

Seems silly censoring a date that nothing happened on.
