The 10 weekend-falling public holidays in 2025 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 18 weekday-falling entries. China's State Council gazettes public holidays annually. The major closures cluster as multi-day Golden Weeks: Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and National Day (October 1-7) each run 7-8 days. Adjacent weekend make-up workdays are gazetted to balance the calendar.
Holidays not included
Hong Kong (SAR) and Macau (SAR) operate under their own Basic Laws with separate public holiday calendars. Taiwan has its own statutory holidays. This calculator's mainland China set excludes those jurisdictions. Make-up working Saturdays surrounding Golden Weeks are gazetted by the State Council each year but are NOT added as separate working days in this dataset — the conservative count is the listed closure dates without restoring the make-up Saturdays.
