YLW's sunburst is not related to the Rising Sun, as the Rising Sun motif has no relation to or meaning in BattleTech.
Yen Lo Wang is indeed the King of Hell from Chinese folklore. As such it's indeed appropriate for a Lunar New Year sale event if the event is meant to commemorate the Lunar New Year. However the sale's theme is a dog or dogs or canines in general, and not Chinese culture or folklore in general. That's why the sale is focused on dog-related mechs and cockpit items like the pug cockpit standing, rather than a lantern.

I'm pretty sure that the rising sun is also Japanese, not Chinese.
