I'm sure Chinese people don't call it "Chinese" New Year, but they probably celebrate it for the same reason anyone else celebrates a January 1 or non-January 1 "new" year.
Below is a Canadian page regarding Chinese New Year:

Well everyone celebrates the one on January 1st, but we Chinese have our own calender which is about a month behind the one everyone uses, so the Chinese celebrates their New Year around late January to mid-February.

In Chinese it is called Spring Celebration, a celebrattion of Spring, renewal of the year. This year it's on 29 Jan.
Every culture has a celebration of renewal of the year.

the Chinese calender is based on the lunar cycle not the solar cycle, new year can vary as much as 30 days or more from 1 year to the next.
Don't know when the lunar new year was this year!
