i wasn't aware about that number, now i am, thanks china
6-4 (June 4th)for those not reading the article.
China incorrectly places the month before the day as well?
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.
Wow ok. Do they do that in practice? Like in Australia we measure everything in metric... except for all the things we measure in imperial.
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.
So one of the only countries that does it correctly. (Day Month Year is just as wrong as Month Day Year)

What?
I misread and deleted my comment
June Fourth incident is how they refer to it.
Which incident China? I thought "nothing happened" that day.
Seems silly censoring a date that nothing happened on.
