Victory day china1/1/2023 This is not a planned issue, but given today is a special day in China, I typed up this note last night.ĩ.3 is a holiday in China this year, with a big Victory Day Parade in Beijing (took place last night PST) in celebration of the 70th anniversary of victory in World War II, and for China, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
