Chinese Lunar New Year fireworks finale at 11:00PM, CM time: Why?

[GammaGlobulin]

 

I'm curious.

 

Why, this year in CM, was the fireworks finale, all around here, set at 11:00PM?

(12:00 Beijing Time)

 

Was this just a salute to Beijing?

 

This has never happened before.

 

Does this mean that we can soon expect the Beijing occupation of Chiang Mai to begin in The Year of the Dragon?

 

My guess is YES.

 

The Chinese are coming.

Same thing happened just a few years ago in Hong Kong.

 

How will you prepare for this,....

When they come marching in?

 

Regards,

Gamma

Funny you mention, I noticed the same at 23:00 and again a bit at 00:00. Confused me as I thought it must been midnight. Anyway, China already occupies the world in terms of dominance, so to worry about that is bit too late.

Yes.

But, I was severely shocked and impacted by this Big New Idea.

 

This is the first time we have had the Chinese Fireworks Finale hit its peak at 11:00PM.

 

NOTE:  So, what I worry about is that Thailand will soon be forced to set our clocks by Beijing time.  As you know, ALL of China runs on Beijing time.  And so, I fear that this is just another way that Beijing plans to dominate my life in Chiang Mai.

No, their watches are made in China.
