    Dear culture war enthusiasts: after Christmas and the Australia Day, don't forget the war on the Chinese New Year (see e.g. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/28/asia/chinese-lunar-new-year-controversy-intl-hnk/index.html)

    Speaking of which, please don't call it the Lunar New Year. It is wrong because the Chinese calendar is lunisolar. It by default has 12 moons (lunar cycles) each year, but it also follow the sun and an extra moon is added once every few years. This is why the new year always falls on January or February.

      Is it Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year? Depends who you ask | CNN
      from Jessie Yeung
      Last week, K-pop singer Danielle Marsh asked her online fans what they were doing for Chinese New Year. A profuse apology followed two days later, in which she promised to “try to be more careful” and acknowledged the “hurt” she had caused.
