    Except the Chinese calendar is not lunar, it’s lunisolar. Also, dozens of other regions, cultures, and religions have their own lunar calendars which have new year’s at a different time.

    So by being “inclusive”, not only is the term inaccurate, it also erases the lunar new years of other cultures.
