Holiday Scheduling

China’s upcoming eight-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in October 2025 has sparked online debate. While the extended break is welcomed by some, many express discontent over the required “make-up” workdays. This follows revised holiday regulations from November 2024, aiming for strategic holiday allocation. Officials highlight the importance of these adjustments for family visits and domestic tourism, balancing economic benefit with worker well-being. The policy reflects ongoing discussions about holiday arrangements in China.
