Seriously?

So theyā€™d better not celebrate anything from Canada, the U.S., Australia, or NZ then, because our language and culture is based heavily off of British influence.

China is not the only country that celebrates the lunar new yearā€¦itā€™s just the biggest.

Think of Carnivale, and Mardi Gras, Karneval/Fasching: you wouldnā€™t plan a spring program with the Germans and call it ā€œMardi Grasā€ or with the Cajuns in NOLA and call it ā€œCarnivaleā€, right?

Perhaps the outraged Chinese patriots thought that ā€œKorean Lunar New Yearā€ meant that Korea was claiming exclusive ownership of Lunar New Year.

Which should only be celebrated in Mobile, AL, in the western hemisphere, if we want to be original about it.
