I didn't know it was related to the lunar new year until the name change (at least in the UK on the BBC)

I am surprised I didn't know it. Now I know, it makes sense that it is not attributed purely to the Chinese.

What I find curious/strange is why has the name change occurred in 2023. Given the nature UK's global orientated history (Korean War, Hong Kong, etc) you would have thought that the BBC was more aware than me before now!

It didn't occur in 2023, at least not in my sphere in the NW USA and Vancouver, Canada area. Been Lunar New Year for a while now
