PARISIANS ADOPT THE CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION

COVID BROUGHT ANTI-ASIAN RACISM... 

But growing support for the New Year's celebration show it insignificant, at least in the 13th. For example:  

•  In 2015 the superette Franprix had this decor but no Asian products...

Rue Nationale

• In 2025 and 2026 no exotic decor, but this ad on the national web site and a shelf filled with Asian products:

"Chinese New Year: Discover our selection of products"

• In 2026, this organic chain included them.

• The library

January 2025

• The mall

January 2025

Boutique opened on December 4, 2025

The evolution is clear.
