China New National Flag Law: People Living In Fear - Any Act can be Offensive
(2 Jan) Starting 1 Jan 2021, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) enacted a new National Flag Law, governing (prohibiting) new sets of activities that may dishonor the China National Flag, including hanging up the Flag upside down, using the Flag in a disrespectful means, or abandoning the Flag. After the new law started, Chinese netizens are scared and dared not to touch on the Flag anymore: "won't make any mistake if I never show or use the Flag anymore". The new law has been enacted on 1 Jan 2021, together with the new National Emblem Law. The reason for introducing new laws was to ensure the dignity of the China National Flag and Emblem and require the people to respect such national symbols. Apart from respectfully using the flag, the new laws also criminalize those who abandoning the flag and disposing of the flag in any improper way after events. All the comments by the Chinese netizens who didn't support the new laws believe the laws are not reasonable. Many among them scared and believed: "what is improper disposal and how can I dispose of it after events?", "my flag was destroyed by my dog, am I a criminal?", "tons of National Flags found in garbage cans after National Day", "how can I dispose of those old and unused flags, (if I want to dispose of the flag) I will be directly sent to jail?", "I am speechless, the easiest way to become criminal", "China should require people to kowtow (kneeling and bowing) to the National Flags at least 3 times a day otherwise it must be an insult to China", "the Cultural Revolution comes again", "why does the CCP always enact unreasonable and ridiculous laws?", "what happens if I draw a flag on my face and then I pose handstand?", "will not buy flags anymore.
