India Today  

A video allegedly showing Holi celebrations in China is making the rounds on social media. While many shared it as Indians celebrating Holi in China, some social media users also called it Holi celebrations from Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. India Today Fact Check found that the viral video predates Holi and shows the Chinese New Year celebrations. Per news reports, Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, spans 15 days and is marked by traditions such as colourful parades and cultural activities every year. It is thus clear that the viral video predates Holi and shows Chinese New Year celebrations held between January 29 and February 12 this year.
