Workers who had grown suspicious checked the meaning of the flag by going online.
Oh, fuck. On top of everything else the Chinese internet filter is broken too.


At least the remembered to contaminate the flags with lead before shipping them to the West.

So are most of the American Flags people buy. Even if the flag is made in America, the mounting hardware is usually made in China. Unless you want the high-quality, American-made set that uses zip ties to hold the flag on the pole. Sheesh.
