Employer is forcing us to use up our 7-day annual paid leave on Feb 11 - Feb 13 after CNY. Is this normal practice? Their reason is it is traditional to do so..

Its more likely that the owner of the company is Chinese and they want to shut the whole place down for a week and go on holiday over CNY. That's no unusual and as most people have indicated, unless you have to work Saturdays its only 2 days out of your 7 yet you get a full 9 days off in a row which is nice and sensible.
Plenty of employers in the UK used to do this between Xmas and New Year so they could shut the firm as do people in Australia. I think the only issue is if it's all your leave - 2 out of 7 does not seem that unreasonable. 7 out of 7 would be.
7 days annual leave that's so little, even when i started my current job, i had 11 days, now it's accumulated singificantly ? what industry are you in? are you contract staff or actual employee ?
