Flying the Flag

September 12, 2015;

A Tibetan national flag was displayed publicly this week in northwestern China’s Qinghai province in defiance of official bans on the flag, which the Chinese authorities say is a “separatist” symbol of Tibetan nationhood. The flag was hung from a metal frame on September 6 in Golug, and remained there until noon the next day; it was hung in defiance of China’s official celebration of 60 years since the founding of Pema county.
