Initialism for Chinese New Year

Happy CNY 2019

@Sgconlaw, Justinrleung, Suzukaze-c, Tooironic, Geographyinitiative, Dokurrat, Dine2016: Wishing you all a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year! Does anyone know whether the term CNY is used as an initialism in other regions besides Singapore and Malaysia? KevinUp (talk) 11:01, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Happy Chinese New Year! I suggest you search for evidence: try Google Books, Google News, and so on. — SGconlaw (talk) 11:03, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

I remember sometime a week or two ago, I was scrolling through my WeChat and saw "CNY" used in relation to a pet watching service in Beijing- people that needed their pets watched during the holiday period. That was the first time I had ever seen the initialism. Happy New Year! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:08, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

@KevinUp: Happy CNY! I've definitely seen it used elsewhere, so it's not restricted to Singapore and Malaysia. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 20:29, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

新年快樂！ I can't say that I've heard of it before. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 21:55, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

• It's definitely commonly used in Chinese-speaking communities. It may be attestable outside. ---> Tooironic (talk) 01:59, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

I looked up the term on Google News (Australia) [1] but nothing came up from that region. Almost all of the search results are from Singapore and Malaysia. I did find the initialism used in the titles of [2] (China/HK-based news portal), [3] (China/New York), [4] [5] (Cambodia), but it's only used in the title. KevinUp (talk) 05:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
