In many Asian cultures, the Lunar New Year is a celebration marking the arrival of spring and the start of a new year on the lunisolar calendar.

Lunar New Year is celebrated, first of all, by plenty of ethnically Chinese people who have no truck with the CCP and no loyalty to the contemporary Chinese state — across China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, and beyond.

Many people around the world are welcoming the new year with the start of the Lunar New Year. Lunar New Year, often called the Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, is the most important holiday in China and many other Asian communities.

Many Chinese who work in bigger cities return home during the eight-day national holiday in what is described as the world's biggest annual movement of humanity.
