About:China Holidays & Festivals

Do they have illegal holidays?

I quote "China has seven legal holidays in a year".
Does this mean there also exists illegal holidays in China?

And also, is Trump pronouncing China correct? I feel like he's not, but I had to ask...

Che che,

Well, as I know, only some companies have other holidays besides legal holidays, such as birthday, Christmas Day. But I think that it cannot be called illegal.

“Legal” here means that you don't have to work on this holiday and get paid. If your company orders you to work on this holiday, the company will pay your three times the money they pay you on one normal work day.

We don't say "illegal" to other holidays. If you want to spent another holiday, you can ask your company for a leave, and the company will not pay you on this day.

If you mean "illegal" as forbidden by the government, that is a misunderstanding by translation.

"Legal" here means these holidays are on China's Labour Law, so companies either let their employers to have a rest on this holiday , or the company has to pay three times the money they pay on one normal work day. This is all "legal" means.
