During the 1980s there was an American film set in Chinatown, called Year of the Dragon. When the year of the dragon actually begins, even the US president issues a New Year's greeting to the ethnic Chinese of that country. Foreigners arriving in Taiwan can learn their Chinese birth sign like everyone else as they enter the country.
