    it changes the age, but not the date of birth.

    If you were Chinese and born October 3rd 1985, on October 3rd of 1995, you would be 11, because on the day of your birth you are 1 years old.

    in France, you’d be 10 because on the day of your birth you’re 0 years old.

      I’m aware. The point is whoever wrote the article may have seen “39 years old” and interpreted that as either 1985 or 1986.
