During the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Horse, the CMG Gala brought New Year's greetings to Chinese communities around the world and to foreign friends. The event spread a festive atmosphere across continents, showcasing the unique charm of the Spring Festival and the depth of Chinese culture to the world.

The Argentinian newspaper *Clarín* praised the gala, which accompanies China's social and economic transformation, as one of the most important global platforms for promoting art and culture. The Spanish portal *El Mundo* emphasized that its significance goes far beyond entertainment—it also represents a window into the story of national unity, prosperity, and harmony.

The Spring Festival, as the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation, is gaining increasing international recognition due to its historical and cultural value. It symbolizes a new beginning and the renewal of life, while also conveying the values of family gatherings, tolerance, and harmonious coexistence. These principles resonate with universal human emotions around the world. Some foreign media outlets point out that, in a time of geopolitical tension and global uncertainty, the Spring Festival promotes cultural dialogue and international exchange.

The Year of the Horse is also the second year of celebrations following the inscription of "Spring Festival: Traditional Chinese New Year Celebrations" on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In Chinese tradition, the horse symbolizes strength, perseverance, and tireless effort, expressing the expectation of stable progress and a prosperous future. Many world leaders and representatives of international organizations sent New Year's greetings and praised the importance of cooperation, solidarity, and joint development.

In a changing and uncertain world, China continues to promote high-quality development and expand its openness to the world, thereby contributing to the stability and predictability of the international environment, according to many foreign observers. The growing interest in learning about China is also fueling a global "China craze" and increasing interest in Chinese culture.
