En medio de la pandemia se celebrará el comienzo del Año Nuevo Chino 2021 este 12 de febrero, según el calendario lunar chino. Considerada como el festival más importante de China, también conocido como Fiesta de la Primavera o Año Nuevo Chino Lunar, estará marcado por ser el año del buey, segundo animal del ciclo.
Del 11 al 17 de febrero son días feriados, aunque las fiestas continúan hasta el 26 de febrero con el Festival de las Linternas. Esta fecha que data de hace más de 3,500 años es el equivalente a combinar el Año Nuevo con Navidad y el Día de Acción de Gracias y, se festeja en una cuarta parte del mundo como Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwán, Indonesia, China, Singapur, y Corea del Sur.
El Año Nuevo Chino suele celebrarse con decoraciones, cenas de Nochevieja en familia con ravioles, pescado y pastel de arroz glutinoso, petardos y fuegos artificiales y sobres rojos con dinero como sinónimo de buena suerte, entre otros regalos.
Restricciones viajes de Año Nuevo Chino ralentizarán pero no detendrán recuperación demanda petróleo
Los esfuerzos del gobierno por evitar que la gente viaje para el Año Nuevo Chino debido a varios brotes de Covid-19 están obligando a los analistas a revisar las estimaciones de demanda de combustible del primer trimestre, pero el mercado no espera que descarrile su recuperación post-pandémica.
De acuerdo con el Ministerio de Transporte de China, los desplazamientos de pasajeros durante la temporada de viajes de primavera de 40 días podrían bajar un 40% respecto a los niveles anteriores a la pandemia, en 2019.

Eso ha llevado a los analistas a recortar las previsiones de demanda de petróleo para el primer trimestre en hasta 400.000 barriles por día (bpd), suponiendo que esto significa que se consumirá menos gasolina y combustible para aviones.
También es probable que se produzca un descenso trimestral del consumo de petróleo en China, según la Agencia Internacional de Energía, el primero desde que la demanda se recuperó rápidamente de la contracción inducida por la pandemia del año pasado. Pero esto no hará retroceder el resurgimiento del consumo de petróleo en la segunda mitad de 2020.
Igualmente, el consumo de petróleo de China en el primer trimestre aumentaría entre 2 y 3 millones de bpd respecto al mismo trimestre del año anterior, dijeron analistas de Energy Aspects, IHS Markit y Wood Mackenzie.

Ansiedad por coronavirus en China impulsa negocios de tests en época vacacional
Ante la obligatoriedad en China de realizarse tests de unos 358 yuanes (56 dólares) para los viajes por Año Nuevo Lunar, algunos emprendimientos privados están sacando cuentas alegres, con servicios personalizados, más costosos, como hisopados en casa o en el trabajo.
Otros servicios premium incluyen pruebas de emergencia, tiempos de respuesta más rápidos y ofertas combinadas con otras pruebas genéticas.
La demanda de pruebas de coronavirus en general se ha incrementado durante la llamada fiebre de viajes del Festival de Primavera, cuando millones regresan a sus provincias de origen para celebrar el Año Nuevo Lunar.
Se podrían administrar unos 600 millones de pruebas a viajeros a áreas rurales sólo durante la temporada de viajes de vacaciones de 40 días, según una estimación privada, lo que ofrece una recompensa potencial para los proveedores de pruebas.
