[The Epoch Times, January 25, 2023]During the Chinese New Year holiday, many celebrities and government agencies have paid New Year greetings on social platforms, but using “Lunar New Year” (Lunar New Year) New Year greetings was attacked by Little Pink. A few days ago, netizens discovered that Qin Gang, the foreign minister of the Communist Party of China, also used “Lunar New Year” to pay New Year’s greetings, which broke the heart of the little pink glass, “It’s not a domestic Qin Gang!”
Qin Gang used “Lunar” for New Year’s greetings and was accused of being “not made in China”
On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang sent a video greeting to the diplomatic envoys abroad. The English “People’s Daily” published an article titled “Qin Gang sends festive greetings for Lunar New Year to foreign missions”, which used “Lunar New Year ” instead of “Chinese New Year”.
In fact, on the English-language website of the People’s Daily, politicians everywhere use “Lunar New Year” in their New Year greetings. Little Pink left a message saying, “This is the Korean version of Qin Gang, not the domestically produced Qin Gang!” Some netizens also said, “The Communist Party is not made in China, it is produced by foreign forces with Marxist communist ideology.” “Little Pink is right.”
Some netizens left messages, “Little pink will brainwash herself, don’t worry about this.” “Little pink said, I dare not bully this!” “Little pink, is the Chinese cyber army dumbfounded?” “The biggest anti-China organization is the Communist Party.”

Xu Dide said that the Lunar New Year is not a festival unique to China, but also a festival in Asian countries such as South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines, so the English translation should be changed to “Lunar New Year”.
