The Chinese new year is on a different date every year because it is based on the Chinese calendar, known as the lunisolar calendar. Typically date systems are usually based upon the Gregorian calendar.

The date according to the Western calendar changes every year, but on the Lunar calendar, Chinese New Year always falls on the first day of the first month.
According to Solar Calendar, it is 2010 for the Chinese too, but according to Lunar Calendar, it is still 2009 for the Chinese. Until after Chinese Spring Festival, it enters the year 2010 on the Lunar Calendar formally. It is also called the "Tiger" year from生肖(shēnɡxiāo) the zodiac year.
Chinese do not have three birthdays. What might be confusing to some is that many of the Chinese will celebrate their lunar calendar birthday instead of their western calendar birthday. Some may even celebrate both. The lunar calendar is based on the moon and it's cycle so the date is different each year in correspondence with the western calendar.
