Line 49: One of the many examples of China's influence over the region is the Chinese [[Lunar New Year]], commonly referred to as “[[Chinese New Year]]”. It is celebrated and is an official public holiday in many countries of the Nanyang region (Vietnam, [[Singapore]], [[Brunei]], [[Malaysia]], [[Indonesia]] and [[Philippines]]).<ref name="Saw Swee-Hock 2005"/> Another prominent example is the original roots of the people in the region; a significant portion of the population of the Nanyang region originated in China, especially when it comes to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Singapore.<ref name="Shmidheise 2008"/> More specifically, Chinese influence in Thailand is seen in a rise in [[Thai Chinese\|Thai-Chinese]] power, not only in commerce and business but also in politics, bureaucracy and intelligentsia. In Indonesia, some news bulletins are in [[Mandarin Chinese\|Mandarin]], whilst in Singapore, one of the [[Languages of Singapore\|four official languages]] is Mandarin. In the Philippines, [[Chinese Filipino\|Filipino-Chinese]] movies have won top prizes and 'chinovelas' are displayed on local television stations, with [[Philippine Hokkien\|Hokkien]] being widely spoken by the local Chinese community. Vietnam has been following the 'China model' politically and economically; like in China, Vietnamese from overseas have led and been the most significant contributors of the economic recovery of the country. Malaysia experiences Chinese cultural influence through Chinese tycoons; they play a prominent role in leading the economic boom and inspire reforms to Malaysia’s [[~~Bumiputera~~Malay ~~(Malaysia)\|bumiputera~~supremacy]] policy.<ref name="Saw Swee-Hock 2005"/> The anti-Chinese sentiment of the Nanyang has subsided in recent years as Chinese influence results in prosperous rather than communist results. This has generated amongst many Nanyang-Chinese the will to rediscover their cultural identity in line with the emerging China of the north. One of the impacts of this rediscovery in the Nanyang region, is a boom in Mandarin classes.<ref name="Saw Swee-Hock 2005"/>
