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.100,000,000 dead and counting.

of course, Progressives have never met a dictator they didn't love......they envy the power.

[Jagergeist]

Jeesh. We have whored ourselves out to China for the past 40 years in the name of cheap goods and labor. Obama is only one in a long line of US leaders who long ago sold out our manufacturing base.

[Jabbamagnus]

Do we have comfirmation from a second source? Also have we ever done this with another countries flag?

[Mohawk5]

Wha wha what????

[ohknow35]

....speechless.......

Sucks now that poor people can afford decent clothes too.

US-Taiwan Diplomacy: Fail

[Mojotiger]

They might as well leave it up, since they do own us.

[Iggy]

Its in honor of the anniversary of the mass-murderer, Mao Zedong, creating the government in which he killed 70,000,000 people.

Sucks there are so many poor people do to jobs being shipped over seas

[blackcatrun]

With an offical............Surrender?

Apology is more like it.

[Libstomper]

The Dems' dirty little secret is that most of them are free-traders.

[blackcatrun]

Oh, with obama I'm wondering if they are same thing.

[DRS]

The Dems' dirty little secret is that most of them are free-traders.

It is not a dirty secret I talked about a number of times how the Clinton did a lot to increase trade with China which helped to grow Walmart. So pointing to Walmarts success was not a Republican success story but rather Clintons

[Jacksmyname]

Will the Chinese flag actually be raised on White House grounds, or just in front of the White House on public property?
The article seems to suggest the latter.
If it's on White House grounds, another nail in the coffin of the Obama administration come Nov., 2012.
This part of the article actually made me snicker:

"Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing Olympics,"

Not to mention jobs you are losing to other countries closer to you where the cost of doing business is lower

Yea that's why I don't trust the source. Anything news-like coming out from China is likely to be heavily censored or even propaganda.

Whoosh...

Whoosh...

We need a smilie for that.

[Libstomper]

Make it happen.

It is far more complex than that, I was just being a smart ass.

[merickson]

No one who shops at Walmart should complain about the government's China policy.

A dictator after every marxist's heart... certainly our kenyan president's.

That should bring a tear to Van Jone's eye....

That looks like an artist rendition of a state visit...

We are talking...

So?

Allowing those people to have their meaningless little ceremony is not any worse to me than having what appear to be American Service members at attention on the steps of the White House actually holding the communist flag.

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk296/bigoldfartdude/holdingflag.jpg

Both are done for international PR reasons.

....at a Head of State's visit.

[LouC]

....at a Head of State's visit.

The same head of the State that is reportedly having a PR flag ceremony.

If President Obama was allowing them to hoist it over the White House I would call for mayhem.

Idiots playing a silly PR game out on the lawn with one flag is different.

[LouC]

Besides it will make a great Republican commercial for 2010.

[PSBandit]

I am sure our state run press will clear this whole thing up and ask White House Bob... I mean Gibbs, exactly what this PRC Flag event is all about...

What does "Chinese Associations in the United States" mean? Are these US citizens of Chinese descent?

[czzzaar]

Obama is a ****ing communist, what the hell else can you expect from that piece of ****.

[treadmill]

A commie flag at the WH?? What the REMOVED?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the word filters do the work. Any other process is a bypass of the word filters and bannable. LEE

[treadmill]

The picture will be appearing on avatars all across this forum...for good reason! Besides it will make a great Republican commercial for 2010.

Well played.

[Lee Kington]

The article says "on the South Lawn of the White House".

Is that where the Che flag is going as well?

[Long Island Bob]

I'm kinda hawkish when it comes to China but I have nothing against the WH flying their flag. We are not at war with them. They are not Nazi Germany and the current crop of leaders is the better of the two currently viable wings of the CCP.


I am not sure that "celebrating the founding of the PRC" is a good idea, in fact I think it is a rotten idea. But there are a dozen (other) reasons why flying the Chinese flag at the WH might be a good idea.

[redfish64]

I don't think he is hoisting it in honor, I think the Chinese own the White House. They bought it.

[nick21ia]

I love how so many on here missed the humor in this thread. Quite enlightening to see how hypocrisy is alive and well on these boards.

[PSBandit]

Obama is a ****ing communist, what the hell else can you expect from that piece of ****.

And behind the smoke and mirrors.... he's very proud of it.

[redfish64]

Im sorry, its very hard to find humor in this administration, but hypocrisy is plentiful.

[czzzaar]

And behind the smoke and mirrors.... he's very proud of it.

Which part? The communist part or the piece of **** part?

[PSBandit]

I love how so many on here missed the humor in this thread. Quite enlightening to see how hypocrisy is alive and well on these boards.

September 20th 2009 will be an interesting day for browsing news from the White House. I am looking forward to the state press coverage of this PRC propaganda event...

[PSBandit]

Which part? The communist part or the piece of **** part?

Well I would say the commie part for sure...

Both? :think:

Anything is possible, he sure ain't too proud to be American. Maybe the piece of **** part he thinks is a step up?

[Stacy24]

jproffitt10: "According to the U.S. Flag Code, "No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in position of superior prominence or honor to, or IN PLACE OF, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or an territory or possession thereof.""

:flag:


I don't have a problem with flying another nations flag as long as the American flag is flown also and with the respect that it deserves.

[DDawg]

They might as well leave it up, since they do own us.

No Doubt ... it is the face of the NEW REPUBLIC ... since we think its fine to burn our AMERICAN Flag ... Stomp on it ... and basically turn our heads when we hear our National Anthem ... Our own President, thinks placing his hand over his heart is beneath him ...

Sure ... Why Not ...

Nobody seems to care anyway ... just as long as the government gives them Hope and Change! [/sarcasm]

[Duncan]

Oh but there is so much more that can be done to take your money and not make this hollow assurance an actual lie.... but where to start; Well there is always; A. a means tax ( a % of means collected annually. Florida does this to their wealthier citizens!) B. Cap and trade/tax. C. Ramped up FET 9federal excise taxes) on all sorts of stuff, like gas, tires, phone bills, power bills, etc. D. Tolls ........ still no lie!
Wake up America! This tax the rich (only) is so hollow. If you kill the rich and take their everything, it won't be 10% of what's needed to meet this administration's spending rate, without the interest of compounded debt included (which is unrealistic, of course). God Bless America: The way we voted last time, we sure didn't bless ourselves.

[DDawg]

I cannot find one news source mentioning this in all of Google News.

Chinese version of Google?

[bigtwnvin]

I was taught that hoisting your flag on your enemy's capitol meant your enemy had yielded and accepted defeat! :think:

Well it use to mean that ... But those John Wayne days are over ...

[hwyflier]

No, just the Chinese news.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2009-07/13/content_8422505.htm

Has anyone considered the possible problems of sourcing Chinese media?

[LouC]

I was taught that hoisting your flag on your enemy's capitol meant your enemy had yielded and accepted defeat! :think:

The White House is not our Capitol.

China isn't our enemy.

As I said earlier if they try to hoist their flag above the American flag atop the White House let the mayhem begin.

Right or wrong, the South Lawn is not a stranger to the Chinese flag.

[GaryNJ]

Honoring Communists?
He already has LOLOL he apparently has appointed 4 of them as "Advisers" like Van Jones........Like president Obama said in so many words, you want to know my views etc look at those I surround myself with.......Hmmmmmm, gee, I wonder what that means? :lol:
At this rate America,:boohoo: adios freedom, and hello oppression and control like you would not believe. You know, the stuff we were taught in school years ago about the people in those bad communist countries being controlled, monitored, and imprisoned. On the present track in the new " Obama's America of Change", countries like China,Cuba,North Korea may have more freedoms than we do now!
We cannot let them get away with this conversion from freedom to oppression.
That's my 2¢

[waynevan]

So?

Allowing those people to have their meaningless little ceremony is not any worse to me than having what appear to be American Service members at attention on the steps of the White House actually holding the communist flag.

Or allowing Ahmadinijad to speak at Columbia University...........

[rival22]

I cannot find one news source mentioning this in all of Google News.

Why would it be news? The flag of other countries leaders are usually displayed during joint appearances between the leaders of two nations.

[toreyj01]

The White House is not our Capitol.

China isn't our enemy.
