No. Every three years there's an additional month to synchronize the calendar with the sol-year. So they mixed moon- and solyear.

Years ago the world I knew used the term "Chinese New Year". Now your term is quite more often used by media. I think there is purpose not to bring positive news from this land. Words can be weapons.

The lunar New Year.

Happy lunar New Year!
