The Flag of China

Flag Detail

Selected on September 27, 1949, the Five-starred Red Flag is the flag of China. The background is red; the upper left corner of the composition stands for five yellow stars. Four small stars stand for various working classes: the proletariat, urban petty bourgeoisie, peasants, and national bourgeoisie. The big star represents the Communist Party. This design precedes earlier flags that China's numerous leaders used during their separate rule.
