Diners at the Khoo Chean House watch as dancers from the Australian Chinese Buddhist Society perform during Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown, Sydney Sunday, 14 February 2021. In 2021 the City of Sydney has organised 80 events to celebrate Lunar New Year, but only three will take place in the cityÃs original Chinatown. Long-term residents, business owners and community members feel left out by the decision, one of several acts they claim the City of Sydney has done in the past four years in a bid to take Chinese New Year away from Chinatown.
