Yes - Mainstream media refers to Chinese New Year but we take your point. We understand that countries including China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam celebrate Lunar New Year at the same time with a number of other Asian countries using different dates for their celebrations. At QVM we probably should use the term "Lunar" - Ed.
