Chinese New Year 2026: A New Chapter in Thai-Chinese Friendship

In the current era, people participate in Chinese New Year celebrations across multiple global regions. Recently, on December 4, 2024, UNESCO registered the Chinese New Year Festival as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, noting its unique rituals, traditions, and cultural identity that connect social bonds. In light of the festival's great importance, the Matichon Group is celebrating Chinese New Year 2026 with a special edition featuring diverse perspectives. This year, H.E. Zhang Jianwei, the Chinese Ambassador to Thailand, honored the occasion with a special interview, sending New Year greetings to the Thai people amidst an atmosphere of cooperation, marking a meaningful year to write a new chapter in building the Chinese-Thai community with a shared present and future.
