 Delete: none of these stamps issued between 1952 and 1959 were in the public domain in the country of origin when the URAA took effect in that country on January 1, 1996, so PCP applies even though the normal copyright term for anonymous work is 50 years after creation.

 Comment: These stamps are PD in China as they were issued by legal entity (state-owned China Post) and their 50 year copyright term had expired. As I understand, nominator actually claims, that due to URAA all stamps of the People's Republic of China (the country was created in 1949) are still copyrighted in the U.S. and none of them could be uploaded to Commons. This looks very strange to me.

We already had a controversial URAA-related mass deletions in the past and subsequent Commons:Massive restoration of deleted images by the URAA, where is stated, that all affected files should be tagged with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}, instead of immediate deletion. And according to Commons:URAA-restored copyrights all such files should be treated very carefully. Hoping for justice, Одуванчик Одуванчикович Одуванчиков (talk) 20:17, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete @Одуванчик Одуванчикович Одуванчиков: Please, read COM:Stamps China, those stamps are still copyrighted by China Post and their actual authors, to which some may still alive. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:11, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just also note that all pages of China Post official website are not having any copyright marks at all, so per this GNU.org page they should be considered as copyrighted. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:21, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I find statements at COM:Stamps China doubtful, for example this one:
in most cases, the authors of those stamps are not publicly known (the Civil Code of PRC doesn't allow announcing of them in principle)
Because in the Stamp Catalogue of the People's Republic of China ((in Chinese) (2013) 中华人民共和国邮票目录。2013, 北京: 人民邮电出版社 ISBN: 978-7-115-32332-3. ) stamp designers (under [D] tag) are denoted for most (if not all) of the stamps.

Interesting, "Civil Code of PRC" is s:zh:中华人民共和国民法典, still lack of an official, or at least a free English translation, and not yet, it's to be affected by 1 Jan 2021, but its privacy-related terms may possible to grandfathered-in force. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:28, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Its "Part IV Personality rights - Chapter VI Privacy and personal information protection" may be related to this case. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:35, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But I agree that the texts of COM:Stamps China is, except the already-PD Manchukuo and {{PD-anon-expired}} cases, bogus to everyone, any suggestions on improving it? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:45, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination and discussion. It is not shown that COM:Stamps China, which states that the stamps are copyrighted is not valid in this case. --Elly (talk) 16:03, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
