Our 5x8' China nylon international flags are made from high grade nylon material. The nylon is manufactured to withstand the elements. Each flag is fully dyed for great ink penetration and finished with a standard canvas heading and brass grommets. The flag of China became the official national flag in 1949. On a red field, the traditional symbol of blood shed for revolutionary causes, floats a five-pointed yellow star in the canton. To its right is a semi-circle made up of four smaller yellow stars. It is said the larger star symbolizes the Communist Party of China, while the smaller stars represent the people of all ethnic groups of the nation.
