We wish all our Chinese readers a Happy New Year: 恭喜发财
2022 is a Year of the Tiger, the first since 2010. This lunar cycle is associated with tiger attributes like strength, courage and bravery - all qualities we'll need to overcome the impact of the last couple of challenging years.
According to experts, the tiger is viewed in Chinese culture as an uplifting animal and we hope that we all benefit from hope and aspiration in the year ahead.
