California Governor Newsom posted today: "Happy Lunar New Year, California! ???????? Without the Asian American community, California would not be what it is today. We wish you prosperity, success, health, and happiness in the new year. Wishing you wealth and happiness!"
Comment: The Asian population in California has exceeded 6 million, accounting for nearly 15%, making it a crucial voting bloc that the Democratic Party cannot afford to lose. Now, California has also designated the Spring Festival as the first state-level public holiday in the United States. Asians have deep control over California's key industries such as Silicon Valley technology, biomedicine, cross-border trade, real estate, and finance. Meanwhile, California's economy is highly dependent on Asia-Pacific trade and the Chinese market. Newsom's authentic "Wishing you wealth and happiness" New Year greeting is a shrewd political choice that uses minimal cost to gain votes, reputation, and economic benefits.
