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.

Yeah it started when the Clinton’s rolled out the red carpet and cheered red China.

Now they own us and many politicians have Cayman Islands bank accounts to prove it.

“They own a large chunk of the U.S.!”

I was going to say, it may as well be hoisted over America. They’re going to own us outright at this rate.

China already owns us so I guess raising the flag is just a formality.

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

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

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.

I think they’re making it up as they go along now.

"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.

My heart is sick over this. I can’t believe what this “man” is doing to our country. What’s worse than that is the fact that ignorant leftists SUPPORT him!
