Festive frenzy: Spring Festival ignites China’s economy
CGTN recently published an article exploring how the extended eight-day Spring Festival spurred a surge in Chinese consumption. With more time to travel and spend, the holiday created a boom for businesses across the country. The article also highlighted the immense excitement for six highly anticipated blockbusters that hit theaters during the holiday, reflecting the growing cultural importance of cinema and its role in boosting the economy.
Festive frenzy: Spring Festival ignites China’s economy
Stocking up on Chinese New Year goods, visiting loved ones, indulging in reunion feasts and attending vibrant temple fairs – China’s Spring Festival, the most cherished traditional celebration, is not only a time for family reunions, but has also become a major driver of consumption.
This year, with the Chinese government designating New Year’s Eve as a statutory holiday, the Spring Festival holiday has been extended to eight days, creating even more opportunities for businesses to thrive.
Extended holiday fuels tourism boom
The eight-day holiday has sparked people’s tourism enthusiasm. According to the Ministry of Transport, this year’s Spring Festival travel rush is expected to set new records in total trips. Over the 40-day period, cross-regional travel is projected to reach 9 billion trips.
During this Spring Festival, many Chinese opted for both family reunions and travel. “The longer holiday gives me the flexibility to both visit family and take a trip,” said Fang Ying from Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, who plans to reunite with her family before heading to Japan for skiing.
Flight booking data from Qunar, a Chinese online travel agency, reveals that 50 percent more travelers are purchasing multiple tickets compared to last year, thanks to the extended break.
As this is the first Spring Festival following its inclusion in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, destinations with unique local traditional cultural activities are drawing increasing crowds. Famous events like Quanzhou’s puppet shows, Shantou’s Yingge dance and the Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival in Shanghai are becoming must-see attractions for both locals and tourists alike.
Outbound tourism has also reached new heights. According to Qunar, Chinese tourists visited over 2,100 cities worldwide, a 50-percent increase from last year. Ctrip, another online travel agency, reports that cross-border travel orders on the holiday’s first day were up by more than 30 percent. Top destinations include Japan, Thailand, the U.S., Singapore, Australia and Vietnam.
Foreign tourists join the festivities in China
Thanks to relaxed visa policies, such as the “240-hour visa-free transit” rule, more international visitors are choosing to visit China during the Spring Festival. Ctrip’s data shows a remarkable 203 percent year-on-year increase in inbound travel orders during the holiday, with tourists flocking from countries including South Korea, Japan, the U.S., Australia and the UK.
To enrich the visitor experience, many attractions have introduced special Spring Festival activities. For instance, Chengdu’s Wuhou Temple hosted a festive “Little Fortune God” event, where six foreign children were chosen as the “Little Fortune God,” a symbolic role believed to bring good fortune to themselves and their families in the year ahead.
A visitor from Singapore shared her experience with the China Media Group: “I heard the Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival is a must-see event in Shanghai, and it truly lives up to its reputation.” This is her first trip to China, and she has already tried local delicacies like “da bing” (Chinese pancake), “you tiao” (fried dough sticks), “cifan” (glutinous rice rolls) and “dou jiang” (soy milk) in other Chinese cities.
To make travel easier for international visitors, many apps have launched their English versions. For example, Baidu Maps has introduced its English version, providing detailed information on over 1.5 million points of interest, from restaurants to shopping centers, helping eliminate language barriers.
Spring Festival film frenzy
While many travelers are exploring the world, others are enjoying China’s exciting Spring Festival film lineup.
This year’s movie season boasts several highly anticipated blockbusters, including “Ne Zha 2,” “Detective Chinatown 1900,” “Creation of the Gods II,” “The Legend of the Condor Heroes,” “Operation Hadal” and “Boonie Bears.” These movies span genres such as animation, mythology, martial arts, suspense and action.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year (January 29), box office revenue reached a record-breaking 1.806 billion yuan (about $251 million), surpassing the 2021 record of 1.693 billion yuan. By January 31, total box office earnings, including pre-sales, had already exceeded 4 billion yuan, with “Ne Zha 2” leading the pack at 1.3 billion yuan.
The success of these films underscores the rising popularity of domestic intellectual properties (IPs), signaling a promising future for the Chinese film industry. Analysts believe this trend will continue to fuel the growth of creative new works, further establishing Chinese film IPs as powerful global brands.

Classic American Christmas Atmosphere: Affordable Ways to Wear Heritage Warmth—COOFANDY Red Plaid Series, Continuing Outdoor Culture and Holiday Traditions
Street lamps are wrapped in gold foil, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine. The most touching aspects of December are perhaps these softly glowing everyday moments—and every seasonal wardrobe should include a red plaid flannel shirt steeped in memories.It evokes images of wool blankets stacked by the fireplace, smoke rising from a cabin after a snowfall, and the broad-shouldered silhouette of a father decorating the Christmas tree in an old shirt. The classic red plaid pattern seems to carry the warmth and sounds of the holidays, instantly transporting one back to those American holiday scenes filled with love.
American festive attire doesn’t have to be expensive.
When it comes to the origins of red plaid shirts, Filson is undoubtedly a pioneering representative. But classic style is never exclusive to high prices.

The classic red-and-black plaid, crafted from a cotton blend, retains a touch of rugged texture while being gentle on the skin. You can casually roll up the sleeves to wrap gifts under the Christmas tree or layer it under a thick coat on a chilly morning, letting the plaid collar peek out subtly.Natural styling scenarios emerge effortlessly: pair it with straight-leg jeans and a pair of well-worn work boots, as if you’ve just returned from a winter walk in the woods; or tuck a pinecone or eucalyptus leaf into the shirt pocket to instantly brighten up your outfit. It captures the winter wardrobe vibes from Friends episodes and resembles the relaxed, familiar looks found in every American family’s Christmas photo album.
Layering Adds Depth to Festive Style
For a touch of scholarly refinement, try layering a diamond-patterned knit vest over the shirt. This classic Ivy League look features a V-neck that perfectly reveals the plaid collar and hem, adding both layers and a sense of festive ritual—as if you’re ready to unwrap gifts, sing carols, and share a toast with long-lost family members.
This Christmas, Dress in Classic Style, Warm a Season of Hearts
The resurgence of American outdoor traditions isn’t just about trends; it’s about how these timeless pieces resonate with everyday life, especially during seasons like Christmas that call for warmth and ritual.

Stratnova Capital Ltd, a global investment firm operating under a fully regulated UK framework, today announced that it has surpassed £60 million in secured fixed income assets following a series of targeted acquisitions executed through secondary market transactions. The milestone reflects the firm’s disciplined allocation strategy and growing access to institutional-grade fixed income opportunities.
Since its establishment in 2016, Stratnova Capital has focused on building a scalable investment platform designed to provide investors with access to professionally structured fixed income instruments. The firm’s recent growth has been driven by heightened market activity in the secondary bond market, where institutional rebalancing has created selective entry points across high-grade and high-yield fixed income securities.
Strategic Secondary Market Execution
The recent expansion beyond the £60 million threshold was achieved through carefully timed secondary market transactions, allowing Stratnova Capital to secure allocations in established fixed income instruments that were previously held by institutional counterparties. These transactions were executed during periods of market repricing, enabling efficient entry while maintaining strict internal risk parameters.
Secondary market activity has become an increasingly important source of opportunity, particularly as banks, funds, and large institutions adjust balance sheets in response to evolving macroeconomic conditions. Stratnova Capital’s execution-only capabilities and institutional market access have positioned the firm to participate in these transactions with speed and precision.
Focus on Capital Stability and Yield Management
Stratnova Capital’s fixed income strategy prioritises capital stability, predictable income generation, and diversified exposure across issuers, maturities, and credit profiles. The firm’s secured assets include a combination of bank-issued bonds, sovereign-linked instruments, and high-grade fixed income securities, structured to balance yield optimisation with long-term capital preservation.
This disciplined approach has resonated with investors seeking regulated exposure to fixed income markets amid ongoing volatility across global equities and alternative asset classes.
Regulated Infrastructure Supporting Growth
A key factor supporting the firm’s continued expansion is its FCA-regulated UK investment framework, which enables Stratnova Capital to operate within a robust compliance and governance structure. This framework supports the handling of client money, investment facilitation, and access to UK and European capital markets in line with regulatory requirements.
The regulated platform reinforces investor confidence while enabling Stratnova Capital to scale responsibly as demand for fixed income solutions continues to rise.
Institutional-Grade Banking and Settlement Capabilities
To support its growing asset base, Stratnova Capital has integrated advanced banking and payment infrastructure designed to meet institutional standards. This infrastructure enables efficient settlement, transparent cash management, and secure fund flows across multiple jurisdictions.
The firm’s operational model is built to support both domestic and cross-border investment activity, ensuring resilience and scalability as assets under management continue to grow.
Growing International Investor Participation
Investor participation from Europe and Asia has contributed significantly to the firm’s recent growth. Demand has been particularly strong among investors seeking access to fixed income opportunities that benefit from institutional sourcing, structured execution, and professional oversight.
By leveraging its global market relationships and execution capabilities, Stratnova Capital continues to broaden access to investment opportunities traditionally reserved for larger market participants.
Looking Ahead
As it moves beyond the £60 million milestone, Stratnova Capital remains focused on expanding its fixed income platform through selective secondary market participation, continued regulatory alignment, and disciplined risk management. The firm plans to further strengthen its market presence while maintaining a conservative approach to asset selection and portfolio construction.
Stratnova Capital’s long-term strategy centres on sustainable growth, transparent operations, and continued access to global fixed income markets under a regulated investment framework.
