23 Dec 2011 - The flag of China
is a red field charged in the upper corner nearest the flagpole with five golden stars
.
The design features one large star, with four smaller stars in a
semicircle set off towards the fly (the side farthest from the flag
pole). The red represents revolution; the five stars and their
relationship represent the unity of the Chinese people under the
leadership of the Communist Party.. Sometimes, the flag is referred to as the "Five Star Red Flag". It is rather amusing that Vietnam blundered by welcoming Vice President Xi Jinping with a flag with
six stars. The official media in Vietnam ignored the mistake, but the internet is buzzing. One person said "Please stop the people who want to turn Vietnam into China's sixth star.". Xi Jinping went to Vietnam to improve relations over some disputed islands in the South China China.
PS Sorry for the poor quality picture ... but it's the only proof I have ...
