On Feb. 10, Asian American communities around the U.S. will ring in the Year of the Dragon with community carnivals, family gatherings, parades, traditional food, fireworks and other festivities. 

Surely it's only a number of East Asian communities that ring in Chinese New Year such as Korean and Vietnamese? I am surprised that a Japanese news outlet would write this considering the Japanese don't even celebrate Lunar New Year!
