In 2022, there are not many international matters that can be agreed upon by US, EU and China at the same time. Getting rid of this stupid leap second disaster is one of those rare ones. US, EU and China all agreed that leap second should be eliminated. It is a disaster.
The whole leap second disaster is just beyond imagination - inserting a full second into the system during business hours in Asia when some of the world's largest exchanges are in trading session! When there are hundreds of millions time sensitive devices manufactured by tens of thousands different vendors at vastly different skill levels!
When compared with this leap second invention, Y2K problem is so harmless.
