Chinese New Year”, Also called the “Spring Festival”, is the most important festival in Mainland China , Hong Kong , Macao , Taiwan and Singapore . It’s the Christmas or Ramadan or Diwali of China only on a bigger bigger scale. The date is decided based on the lunar calendar , So the exact date varies each year but usually falls between mid-Jan to end of Feb.

These days , Chinese Factories are experiencing unexpected delays in productions and even closing theirs door for a couple of weeks. The reason is because Beijing is sending inspectors to make sure factories are complying with state environment rules in fighting the country’s war on pollution. The central government of China has sent an army of inspection teams into the financial hub of Shanghai and Guangdong to monitor and inspect air pollution in the regions, to make sure the environment stays clean and it’s safe for the people in the region. Most of the factories, especially in Jiangmen and Zhongshan areas, have temporary closed for 7-20 days, causing delays in finishing orders in this already super rushed and busy season.
