Obama Wants China’s National Flag to Go Up in White House on Sept 20



China’s national flag to go up in White House on Sept 20
The China Daily
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.

“Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing Olympics,” said Chen.

More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.
Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people.

Flags Flying at the White House, but Whose?

“While the flags of many nations are flown at the White House when dignitaries of those countries visit, this seems to be the first time a foreign nation’s flag will be hoisted to celebrate that country’s founding, communist or not.”
The People’s Republic of China is celebrating 60 years of hard core communism … by raising the flag of that communist country on the south lawn of the White House on September 20.
Well, that is what two Chinese sources are reporting. China Daily reported — apparently unnoticed until last week — that the Fujian Association had applied to the White House for permission to hold a celebration to honor the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and to hoist that country’s red flag on the south lawn of the White House.

Chen Ronghua, a Spokesman for the Fujian Association, said that permission was approved because of closer China-U.S. relations in recent years. And because, “Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing’s Olympics,” he said.

Also involved in the celebration are the Union of Chinese American Professional Organizations and the coordination Council of Chinese-American Associations. The ceremony is to be hosted by other “overseas Chinese organizations,” according to the Chinese publication Global Times.
Approximately 1,000 people are expected to attend the flag-raising ceremony.
While the flags of many nations are flown at the White House when dignitaries of those countries visit, this seems to be the first time a foreign nation’s flag will be hoisted to celebrate that country’s founding, communist or not.
There is no flag rule or regulation that prohibits the flying of flags from foreign nations at the White House; although the Capitol grounds are another matter. The updated 2008 federal flag code is a bit confusing, but it says no flag can fly higher on American soil than the U.S. flag, except for the UN flag at UN headquarters. So there is no direct violation of the U.S. flag code here.

But it does seem to be culturally and universally understood by patriots of all nations that one wouldn’t want to fly the flag of a rival nation that has a governmental philosophy that is diametrically opposed to the founding principles of your own nation.

If the Chinese flag is raised on the south lawn of the White House on September 20, then perhaps the present occupants of the White House, appointees and advisors, see little difference between their own political beliefs — statist-to-socialist — compared to the statist-to-full-fledged-communist outlook of their confreres in Beijing.
Veterans and other patriotic groups should be adamantly opposed to any plan to hoist a communist flag over American soil. Many placed their lives on the line, fighting and witnessing the utter brutality of communist regimes in Russia, Korea, North Vietnam — all of whom are supported by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists.
Today, the human rights record inside China is as dismal as they come. Their murderously enforced one-child family policy is an abomination as well. But all this matters not to the White House.

“It was always my dream to raise a Chinese flag in the center of Washington, D.C.,” says Chen Ronghua. “This year, my motherland’s 60th birthday, is the perfect time for it.”

September 20 will be the day we find out whether Chinese sources were correct in their reporting and the Chinese flag is raised on U.S. soil in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the deadliest regime in all of history.

And if so, what’s next: May Day parades to celebrate the Russian communist worker, or Mao’s image on Mount Rushmore?

Wild Thing’s comment…….
I know we are financially in debt to China, but can’t we say NO WAY to this?
I aree with this from the article:

Many placed their lives on the line, fighting and witnessing the utter brutality of communist regimes in Russia, Korea, North Vietnam — all of whom are supported by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists.

….Thank you Richard for sending this to me.

Lynn says:

I guess it’s true-he sold us out to the Chinese. Wonderful Obamanation, sold us down the river for some cheap asian trinkets. So when do I have to report to learn Mandarin Chinese?

Eden says:

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, given his foreign policy actions so far.
I still can’t believe he got a media pass on skipping national prayer day, but CELEBRATING Ramadan.

Joe says:

The U.S. flag should only be displayed at half mast while Obama remains president.

Mark says:

This depends on how the Flags are raised. If the American Flag goes up first and the chinese flag second that should be ok. The American Flag always goes up first, on the top, Second to no nation. We shall see what obama really thinks of America.
The other way around will be an outrage and a total disrespect for our country.
I don’t remember hearing any Americans being so impressed with the Chinesse at the Olympics, except that an American won 8 gold medals. Other than that, I am wasn’t impressed with the chinese at all.

Jack says:

Thanks WT and Richard. It’s a disgrace but true, we’ve been sold out to China for a very long time. Let’s not forget that government policy and the trade unions had a big play in this happening, high labor costs to pay for their socialized perks and extremist business taxes forced business off shore to China and elsewhere. Now that the economy has collapsed due to the Democrats fiscal irresponsibility aided by the RINO’s of course, we as a people can’t complain too much at the events. A few of us tried to halt this but Avarice won the day. Just look at what they chose to disgrace the White House, a mohammedan marxist in fascist attire.

TomR says:

So if this Chinese flag flying is in part due to the “success” of the Olympic games in Bejing, how about a nazi flag for the success of the Olympics in 1936 in Berlin.
This crazy obama isn’t trying to hide his love and respect of all things communist at all. The damnable MSM is with him all the way covering his ass. Many of those bullets and shells fired at Americans in Korea and Vietnam were Chinese supplied.

JohnE PFC U.S. Army says:

Tom, many of the weapons used by the terrorists are supplied by china, our so-called indespensible ally in the war on terror.
Unfortunately, I doubt many Amricans will be outraged by this. They’ve been indoctrinated with multiculturalist propaganda and contempt for everything American is now ingrained in their thought process. There will probably be celebrations on the 20th. Never mind of course the resurging violence and the increasing deaths of U.S. Troops, we can’t pass up a good PR moment.
As far as I’m concerned I have no country anymore.

Jim says:

Everyday is a new low for this administration. Nothing surprises me anymore. He should be impeached just for this. One bright spot, if there is an election in 2012, this video of the Chinese flag waving over the south lawn will be enough to kill his chances for re-election. To all of our Korean War vets out there, I’m sorry you would have to endure this disgrace.
