As usual, Chinese (by which I mean those from PRC) blindly follow a leader.

The same article is widely circulated in Chinese web sites (again, by
Chinese, I mean those from PRC).

Nobody in this bbs (acronym of bulletin board service) or Chinese web sites
EVER question authenticity of this article.

Our buddy "guner" like other Chinese does not cite anything.

However, the citation is--sit tight--
王良芬, 韓裔反彈 中國年正名亞裔曆農新年. 中國時報 (Taipei) , Feb. 14, 2010.
http://tol.chinatimes.com/CT_NS/CTContent.aspx?nsrc=B&ndate=20100214&nfno=N0074.001&nsno=1&nkeyword=%a4%fd%a8%7d%aa%e2&SearchArgs=Keyword%3d%a4%fd%a8%7d%aa%e2%26Attr%3d%26Src%3d7%26DateFrom%3d20100116%26DateTo%3d20100214%26ShowStyle%3d2%26PageNo%3d1%26Ite

Anybody who has followed me knows that I despise China Times 中國時報 and
United Daily News (and I do not read them, although I read People's Daily to
know my enemy). Many people in and from Taiwan know these two media groups
lie, invent news all the time. This is yet another example.

President of United States is the most important person of the world. His
pronouncements are etched in stone. It is easily to find them.

In both 2010 and, yes, 2009, President Barack Obama issued greetings that
said "Lunar New Year." (Naturally the President issued New Year greetings to
Iranians, Jews among others. Chinese or Asians do not enjoy preferential
treatment in US.)

(a) 2010:
President Obama Sends Lunar New Year Greetings. White House, Feb. 12, 2010.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/02/12/president-obama-sends-lunar-new-year-greetings

(b) 2009*:

Message on the Observance of the Lunar New Year . White House, Jan. 26, 2009.
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/presdocs/2009/DCPD200900022.htm

Note *: The 2009 greetings no longer in White House web site, but Government
Printing Office (GPO) of United States still keep it ONLINE.

Somebody last night opened a NEW series, and I has two replies.
奥巴马把春节说成农历新年是很有利中国的一件事
