minus-squareprayer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·2 years agoWikipedia says China uses Year, Month, Day exclusively, so they do place month before day.
minus-squareQuokka@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28arrow-down7·2 years agoOh shit yeah ISO 8601, that’s cool. Thought it was like the stupid M/D/Y thing.
minus-squareDogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 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-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·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.
