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.
/S
Imagine a government being so weak and thin-skinned that they have to censor two digits next to each other

Fuck the ccp
Based AF
I worked for a software company that had a customer in China. Our system had a standard set of emoji that included the world flags. In order for us to keep them as a customer we had to give them a special build without Taiwan’s flag because it was illegal.
I would not be surprised if the Chinese government just skipped from June 3 to June 5 and made June 31 days long.
29?
No… like if a 30 storey building has no 13th floor then you end up with a 31st floor even though there’s only 30 floors.

Ah yes, that makes sense.
Basically June 4th would become 5th and so June 30th would become 31st
Ah, of course.
Remember China disappeared Naomi Wu
Wu has been absent from social media since June 2023, reportedly after receiving a police visit due to her public criticisms of Signal and Chinese keyboard apps.
She’s a public face. For every Naomi Wu there are a hundred others that get disappeared every day, for equally benign thing. Fuck the CCP. Fuck Tankies.
I’m pretty sure China disappeared a LOT more people than just her.
Something something streisand effect
Doesn’t work that well when most of your Chinese cousins also act mad for this disgraceful and disrespectful act.
FUCK YOU XI the Pooh
64 is forbidden number now?
Is that why shitty Chinese microprocessors are all 32-bit?
No one tell the Beatles.
“Eternal vigilance is the price of maintaining a dystopian totalitarian shithole”
Do stacks of items only go up to 63 in the Minecraft Chinese release?
Why is 6/4 a refence to the 4th of June when China doesn’t use that date format?
In Chinese, we usually read out a date with year first, month latter and days after it. For example, if it’s 4/6/1989 , we would say 一九八九年六月四日 (year 1989, June, day 4). I think there’s not any relation with date format we use.
Uploading this image for future reference of 6/4.
this world is really dumb sometimes
I mean yeah ok “silly china” but, god that sucks for Wu.
Not good for anyone when someone gets disqualified.
I thought it was customary to just restart the race when there’s a false start.
Ah yes, I wonder if anything happened on the 65th day of April, in the square close to the place which the sun rises…
Nothing happened. That’s why nobody is ever allowed under any circumstances to reference that day, because there is nothing to say about a day which never happened. Perfectly logical and not suspicious at all.
Like idk. Doesn’t the censorship of that specific location and day specifically draw people’s attention and make it more fascinating?
