Global Times - China?s national flag to fly outside White House

By Wen Xian in Washington DC and Zhang Wen in Beijing

The national flag of the People’s Republic of China will be raised for the first time on the south lawn of the White House on September 20.

Overseas Chinese planned the ceremony in the US to celebrate China’s National Day, which falls on October 1.

“The ceremony has gotten official approval,†Xiao Shuigen, secretary of the Union of Chinese American Professional Organizations, said Sunday.

According to He Xiaohui, chairman of the Coordination Council of Chinese-American Associations, the ceremony is hosted by overseas Chinese organizations.

To celebrate the 60th birthday of China, and to express their love for the motherland, overseas Chinese will raise the Chinese flag at 10 am that day.

Chen Ronghua, chairman of the US-Fujian Association, was the proponent of the event.

“It was always my dream to raise a Chinese flag in the center of Washington DC,†he told the Global Times. “This year, my motherland’s 60th birthday, is the perfect time for it.â€

“The ceremony getting official approval is due to the good relations between China and the US,†Chen said.

As well as the flag-raising ceremony, there will also be performances, with nearly 1,000 people participating, Zhao Luqun, the director of the ceremony, said.

I have said for some time that the politicians might as well pull down the stars and stripes and hoist the Communist flag because of the way they continue to chip away at the Constitution...guess now they are going to do exactly that...

i bet the Chinese didn't even drop the interest on the stimulus loan, next thing you know there will be a for sale sign on the HALF WHITE HALF Black House. Any guess on who will buy it? my real-estate prospector says in a few more years it will be worthless. i say it already is.

being Taiwanese...this is one of the most offensive completely marginalizing actions that the administration could have possibly taken. It was less than 15 years ago that the pro-China party had Taiwan under martial law, and were kidnapping people out of their living rooms for disagreeing with the government. Not only do we stand idly by when China re-orients over 100 missiles over the Taiwan straits, but we freakin' fly their flag.

Before we all get our panties in a wad, is there any other news source of this outrage other than OP - being a Chinese website and reported July 13.

How are you going to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China? :: WRAL.com

WRAL is a television news program covering Raleigh, Durham and Fayetteville, North Carolina.

not that it should matter--do you think the White House will openly admit to planning on flying the Communist flag given the current way things are going--that would be like throwing gasoline onto a camp fire...and would just fuel more calls of America becoming a Communist/Fascist country...

this is a slap in the face to every single person in this country that has ever worn the uniform. That sorry son of a bitch in the white house is calling us terrorist because we protest taxes and potential extremeist because we served in combat for our country. The sorry SOB wont put his hand on his heart for our national anthem but will allow a country that is responsible for the deaths of 1000s of americans celibrate its birthday on our capital.

It is time for those that took the oath to get together and to make good on our promise.

They already own us. Might as well go ahead and plant the flag. :screwy:

Sad but true...tax, spend, borrow, rinse, repeat...

But let's bail out more car companies and banks and throw in spending another couple of trillion of non-existent money for "healthcare" (which, oh by the way, we really have no plan for, but it plays well with our base).

so they decided to change their minds? Given the current climate in this country--I can see how that is a politically saving move for them...but I still can't help but believe the Chinese reports were completely accurate and that the White House did indeed plan to fly the Chinese flag from the White House to "celebrate" the 60th birthday of Communist China.
