A new year term used by someone (who doesn’t approve of China’s internal politics and its
foreign policy in bribing or bullying many poor or
developing natural resources-rich countries) to their Chinese friends, foes, or fiends rather than using “
Chinese New Year.”
If you want to be in the good books of the Chinese
communists or nationalists, use “Chinese Lunar New Year,” not the arguably
disrespectful “Lunar New Year” or the highly disparaging “Korean Lunar New Year” to
infuriate them.
