company news about National Day of the People's Republic of China

National Day of China, is a public holiday in China celebrated annually on 1 October as the national day of the People's Republic of China, commemorating Mao Zedong's formal proclamation of the establishment of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949. The Chinese Communist Party victory in the Chinese Civil War resulted in the Kuomintang retreat to Taiwan and the Chinese Communist Revolution whereby the People's Republic of China "replaced" the Republic of China.

Although it is observed on 1 October, another six days are added to the official holiday, normally in lieu of the two weekend breaks around 1 October, making it a de facto public holiday comprising seven consecutive days also known as Golden Week with specifics regulated by the State Council. This year the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays are combined into one, from September 29 to October 6. Festivities and concerts are usually held nationwide on this day, with a grand military parade and mass pageant event held on select years.
