China hoping Lunar New Year celebrations will continue economic jumpstart – BBC News
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year. 新年快乐，万事如意，心想事成。
The Chinese New Year we are celebrating here was based and originated from the Chinese Nong Li (农历) Calender and the 12 Chinese Zodiac Animals (中国十二生肖 – 鼠，牛，虎，兔，龙，蛇，马，羊，猴，鸡，狗，猪）This year is Gui Mao Nian – Rabbit (癸卯年-兔) In ancient time much of the neighbouring countries like Japan, Korea and Vietnam have been heavily influenced by the Chinese Culture hence they also celebrate these festivals as well. It is liken to eating Chinese delicacies doesn't turns one into a Chinese but still you are most welcome to enjoy the food as you like nevertheless. Its still Chinese delicacies. So coming back to the topic its still Chinese New Year as it follows the Chinese Nong Li Calender. Not exactly Lunar but partically. Or Luna-Solar, if you really got to split hairs on this one. Because it derived from BOTH the Sun and the Moon. Only Muslim follows the so called "Lunar" Calender. Please trust us, we know our own traditions better than those who doesn't celebrate our culture nor traditions. Thank you for listening.

The XXB.1.5 is spreading across the US accounting for more than 80% of Covid-19 infection. Covid-19 related daily deaths exceeds 500 or 15,000 per month. Canada's initial XBB.1.5 infection was only 2% 2 weeks ago now has gone up to >40%. Britain most likely suffers far worse Covid-19 deaths because the entire health system has collapsed due to strikes.

I'm surprised so many people don't know that the lunar calendar is calculated by looking at the moon, it's a very imprecise calendar, and if you celebrate a lunar new year, one day you'll be celebrating the new year in the summer.

Nobody seems to have grasped, or addressed the fact, that a VERY large part of China’s commercial success is due to unfair/illegal trading practices. For years the Chinese government has subsidised, or paid in full, the postage costs of all the dangerous crap they sell to us!
Ask yourself, if you lived for instance in the U.K. and sold something for 99p (1$) how could you afford to ship it to anywhere within the U.K. – never mind to another part of the planet – free postage?!?!
