[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why is 6/4 a refence to the 4th of June when China doesn't use that date format? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] maxso216@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
