Millions of Chinese people around world are celebrating the start of Lunar New Year, the most important festival in the Chinese calendar.
In many homes and towns, the Year of the Ox was greeted in traditional style with firecrackers, parties, feasts and incense offerings at temples.
But correspondents say the mood this year was subdued, with many people expressing concern about the economy.
My friends in China said that last night was one of the better New Years they can recall. Interesting that the MSM wants a different viewpoint.
Lucky people, the Chinese. They can have firecrackers, and I can’t.
Happy 4707 anyway!
