Of course, we must respect the culture of others because of that the world can be seen as unique. But from a different perspective, culture can still be considered wrong or inappropriate for various reasons. But not with their respective communities because they have been doing it for a long time and it doesn't matter when everyone hopes to be the best on the big celebration day.

There is something I want to know about Chinese New Year (Imlek), red clothes and decorations and etc. Why does it have to be red, is this a certain symbol that they must use on each day of this annual celebration?

The mascot which often seem on the greeting card is dressed in full red colour and holding a gold bullion, I bet it has something to do with it. They worship the mascot as perversive as the Jesus worshipper. This is the mascot for your reference: Caishen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caishen
