We wish the best of health to all of you, and may success attend the people of China in the process of building the advanced and flourishing country! The National Day of the People's Republic of China is the key public holiday in the country, celebrated on October 1.

The People's Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949, at a gathering taking place in Tiananmen square in Beijing. On December 2, the Central People's Government declared October 1 as a national holiday.

Interestingly, the Soviet Union became the first country to establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China, and 2019 celebrates the 70th anniversary of this event.

Happy People's Republic of China National Day!
