China's national flag to go up in White House on Sept 20
China Daily ^ | Hou Lei

Posted on 09/04/2009 5:09:05 AM PDT by KevinDavis

The national flag of the People's Republic of China (PRC) will be hoisted at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on September 20, media reported Sunday.

Chinese associations in the United States had applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US President’s residence to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC.

Chen Ronghua, chairman of Fujian Association of the United States, told reporters that their application was approved not only because of the sound Sino-US relations but also because China is a responsible country.

That’s odd. I thought the communist flag already got hoisted at the White House at noon on 01-20-09.

Ahhh!! Obama’s government is giving full approval of China’s denying citizens of civil rights, ie. long prison terms for opposing the government and in many instances death sentences. How soon we forget the slaughter of Chinese by the Army in Tianeman Square.

No flag may be hoisted higher than the American flag under any circumstances. Let’s see what happens. This man is power crazy.

Last time I checked, the American flag still flys over the White House. This china flag thing is another push by our unAmerican president. What’s next there barry, going to hoist the pepsi, yes we can, flag?

Is this normal practice at the WH? Do other countries hoist their flags too? Or is the Chinese flag being treated differently? If it’s a normal practice (as long as it’s NOT higher than the gool ol’ Stars and Stripes) as part of diplomatic meetings, then fine. If not, then this needs to be stopped before it happens!

Anyone on free republic who knows the flag protocol at the WH?

Why would they celebrate the 60th founding of the People’s Republic of China? I would think it’s a dishonor to Chinese Americans who fought to get out of the communist state. Considering we’re becoming a communist state, I guess it’s all in ‘the plan’ for 0bama. Next, the Nazi flag will fly above all of them.

OUCH! In regards to their being a fiscally responsible country... They are also responsible for many other things throughout their short 60 year history. For starts, turning their entire country into a prison camp with secure borders designed to keep people from leaving. Then there are the millions of Chinese that were slaughtered for the crime of not being able to understand the teaching's of Chairman Mao and his little red book. What color is your little book going to be Obama?

OH crap, your post made me think. China has a big pile of our debt. geithner went to china a while back to affirm our solvency and was outright laughed at. And our ecomony is not turning around. Looks like ozero is sucking up to our largest debter to keep them from calling in their debt. I’d bet that george soros is about to be replaced by the chinese as ozero’s puppetmaster.

Oh really?
Isn't it in fact also by default 'celebrating' the 40,000,000 people Mao killed? And 'celebrating' Mao's "Cultural Revolution"? During which Mao said,
""People who try to commit suicide — don't attempt to save them! . . . China is such a populous nation, it is not as if we cannot do without a few people."

Yeah, 60 years of Communism and the MILLIONS of deaths which always follow - gee, what's not to celebrate?!?

I want a recount -- of Obama's IQ test scores!

I wonder if they're going to celebrate the memory of the 40 million people murdered by the Chinese communists.
Probably not...

I can't say that I know the WH flag protocol. But, I was at the ceremony when Hu Jintao visited the in the spring of 2006. There were Chinese flags in several locations, both on the WH grounds and in the WH itself. But, I don't remember anything other than Old Glory flying above the WH, FWIW.

"Don’t they own us now?"

Only on paper, which I suspect will become quite worthless in the coming months. Hyper-inflation followed by national default tends to have that effect.

Ignorance is the word alright. They possess a profound ignorance of our history, the Constitution and what it does and does not say, and of human nature.

They are pathetically naive and Pollyanaish in their trust in a Utopian ideal.

Liberals are not to be despised, they are to be pitied. They live pitiful little lives filled with envy and hatred of everything they can't understand and they fear freedom and self-determination (and responsibility).

The White house knows what they are doing unfortunately - this was planned all along — Van Jones is the distraction.

I think the flag story may not have been picked up by the mainstream media yet. I did a search and found it on other sites to see if it was true.

Prison Planet has an article - does this remind you of Van Jones?

It was on the drudge report too.

A quick search of the internet finds no other source for this beyond the original article in the Chinese publication.

I would hesitate to believe this until there is further confirmation. The article may just be written for domestic propaganda purposes of the Chinese government.

Not that I wouldn't put this past Obama, but I'm not certain even he is so arrogant and stupid as to believe he could get away with it.

I'll wait and see...
