Lunar New Year kicks off this weekend for a week-long celebration, and for the first time in nearly three years, mainland China is opening its borders to Hong Kong, allowing loved ones to celebrate together. This move comes following the Chinese government’s pivot last month, announcing they would be rolling back their covid-zero policies, despite rising covid numbers.
