Why do some Chinese people get offended when you say "Happy Lunar New Year" instead of "Happy Chinese New Year"? In recent years, the Chinese government has pushed for exclusive recognition of "Chinese New Year", rejecting the broader term that acknowledges the festival’s shared East Asian heritage.

But is Lunar New Year really a Chinese-only tradition? And why has a simple holiday greeting turned into a cultural battleground?

In this episode of 22 George Street, we discuss some facts:
🔹 The shared origins of Lunar New Year in Korea, Vietnam, and beyond
🔹 How Western astronomy helped shape China’s modern lunar calendar
🔹 The foreign roots of Chinese New Year traditions like lion dances & dumplings
🔹 How nationalism & politics turned a festival into a cultural weapon

Has Lunar New Year become a celebration or a nationalist tool? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
