On October 25, 2021, the General Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China released the schedule of public holidays and non-working days for 2022.
The people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, all ministries and commissions of the State Council, and all institutions directly under the central government shall issue:
Notice:
With the approval of the State Council, special holiday arrangements for the following holidays are hereby announced:
- New Year's Day
- Spring Festival
- Qingming Festival
- Labor Day
- Dragon Boat Festival
- Mid-Autumn Festival
- National Day in 2022
According to the Chinese calendar, Chinese New Year falls on February 1, 2022. That day marks the beginning of the Year of the Tiger.
Please note that some Saturdays and Sundays in China are often designated as additional official workdays to compensate for long holiday breaks.
As a result, January 29 (Saturday), January 30 (Sunday), as well as October 8 (Saturday) and October 9 (Sunday), are designated as workdays to partially make up for the seven days off for the Spring Festival and National Day.
Private companies in China, however, have the right to set their own schedules, extending the official recommendations, which means the non-working period may last significantly longer.
Therefore, our company will also be closed during Chinese New Year from January 28 to February 10, 2022.
