The People’s Republic of China is celebrating 60 years of hard core communism ... by raising the flag of that communist country on the south lawn of the White House on September 20.

Well, that is what two Chinese sources are reporting. China Daily reported — apparently unnoticed until last week — that the Fujian Association had applied to the White House for permission to hold a celebration to honor the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and to hoist that country’s red flag on the south lawn of the White House.

Chen Ronghua, a Spokesman for the Fujian Association, said that permission was approved because of closer China-U.S. relations in recent years. And because, “Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing’s Olympics,” he said.

Also involved in the celebration are the Union of Chinese American Professional Organizations and the coordination Council of Chinese-American Associations. The ceremony is to be hosted by other “overseas Chinese organizations,” according to the Chinese publication Global Times.

Approximately 1,000 people are expected to attend the flag-raising ceremony.

While the flags of many nations are flown at the White House when dignitaries of those countries visit, this seems to be the first time a foreign nation’s flag will be hoisted to celebrate that country’s founding, communist or not.

There is no flag rule or regulation that prohibits the flying of flags from foreign nations at the White House; although the Capitol grounds are another matter. The updated 2008 federal flag code is a bit confusing, but it says no flag can fly higher on American soil than the U.S. flag, except for the UN flag at UN headquarters. So there is no direct violation of the U.S. flag code here.

But it does seem to be culturally and universally understood by patriots of all nations that one wouldn’t want to fly the flag of a rival nation that has a governmental philosophy that is diametrically opposed to the founding principles of your own nation.

If the Chinese flag is raised on the south lawn of the White House on September 20, then perhaps the present occupants of the White House, appointees and advisors, see little difference between their own political beliefs — statist-to-socialist — compared to the statist-to-full-fledged-communist outlook of their confreres in Beijing.

Veterans and other patriotic groups should be adamantly opposed to any plan to hoist a communist flag over American soil. Many placed their lives on the line, fighting and witnessing the utter brutality of communist regimes in Russia, Korea, North Vietnam — all of whom are supported by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists. Today, the human rights record inside China is as dismal as they come. Their murderously enforced one-child family policy is an abomination as well. But all this matters not to the White House.

“It was always my dream to raise a Chinese flag in the center of Washington, D.C.," says Chen Ronghua. “This year, my motherland’s 60th birthday, is the perfect time for it.”

September 20 will be the day we find out whether Chinese sources were correct in their reporting and the Chinese flag is raised on U.S. soil in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the deadliest regime in all of history. And if so, what's next: May Day parades to celebrate the Russian communist worker, or Mao's image on Mount Rushmore?

Comrade Obama's Choice This sure IS the president who refused to wear an AMERICAN flag lapel pin or salute OUR flag until the pressure got too great! Can't wait to see Obama grin, bow low to the Chinese dictator, kiss their anatomy, and salute their flag. He might even join in singing their national anthem. the video will break all records on the web! How...um...patriotic... NOW, can we please see that birth certificate?

... When you have a far far left of center person in the white house who has political advisers who have openly declared their being a communist you can expect any thing. There fore you must be prepared for everything!! We now have a Green czar?? Comrades we lost the Korean conflict and it seems we have lost our government. It seems to me that we low level citizens who fight the foreign wars must now take all our efforts to remove the people who misrepresent us in DC.

travesty This is absolutely ridiculous. Would the communists in China allow us to fly Old Glory over Tiananmen Square on Fourth of July? It's bad enough that they steal our technology, closing the gap militarily and saving themselves billions in R&D by piggy-backing on American ingenuity. Now we have to hoist their flag on U.S. soil on the lawn of our national landmark? And for anyone who insists that things are getting better over there, they're forgetting that fact that there is zero transparency when it comes to the CCP. Whether you are talking about human rights abuses (i.e. political prisoners, environmentalists, journalists, underground Christians, Falun Gong), riots, fraud & corruption, or actual economic numbers...the CCP is never truthful. Why should we honor a foreign political party of such cruelty and evil on our own soil, at our nation's most famous landmark? Would Ronald Reagan fly the USSR national flag if they had asked him during the 80's? I think not. Some things in life should not have a price. Yes, the communist Chinese have our debt thanks in large part to greed and corruption in our own backyard. But by flying their flag at the White House we are basically condoning all the atrocities that the CCP has committed over its 60 years of existence in celebrating the Party along with them. It is a travesty. But obviously to the Obama Administration...some things don't have a price.

	Why are we surprised? Considering how the US government armed and assisted the Communist Chinese, and stabbed the Nationalist Republicans in the back, and STILL doesn't recognize Taiwan as an independent nation, and with the trade deals we have, which are solidly in the favor of the slave labor camps in China, why would anyone be surprised to see Red Chinese flags flying in Washington?

Tradition started in 1918 President Wilson started the tradition in 1918 when he flew the French flag to honor Bastille Day. There is even a special flagpole on the South Lawn that's been there since Wilson's tenure that was erected just to fly foreign flags to honor visiting dignitaries and mark special occasions. Most recently, in March of this year, the Greek flag was flown. And during the previous administration, the Chinese flag was flown as well.

Most favored trade nation While some comments are anti-Obama. Please refresh your memory. When H.W.Bush was our president, he declared "China as our most favored trade nation." We had the long cold war with Russia because they were a communist nation...then Bush turns around and makes another communist nation as our "most favored trade nation"....unbelivable. It has worked great for China....they are now a super nation. Where was the outrage when this happened??????

It's the common retort when Soetoro is criticized to say "well, what about what Bush did?". Many of us here don't like what Bush did either!!

Chinese Flag is not going to be flown over the White House UPDATE: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/04/white-house-debunks-reports-fly-chinas-flag-south-lawn/ The White House on Friday dismissed as inaccurate reports from China that the administration will mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic by flying the Chinese flag on the South Lawn. China Daily, citing other media reports, claimed the president of the Fujian Association of the United States had been granted permission to hoist the flag “in a ceremony in front of the President’s residence.” A ceremony, indeed, will take place. But it won’t happen on the White House grounds — rather, on the Ellipse, on the other side of E Street from the presidential residence. China Daily’s report — which said the flag would represent strong U.S.-Chinese relations and recognition of China’s success in hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics — set off howls of protest on the Internet and among conservative talk show hosts despite failing to receive confirmation from the White House. Demonstrations by foreign groups on the Ellipse or in Lafayette Park, in front of the White House, are not uncommon. But foreign flags are only flown on the White House grounds or on Pennsylvania Avenue to mark “state” or “official” visits of the countries’ leaders. Under those guidelines, the Chinese flag has flown on White House grounds before, in April of 2006, when President Hu Jintao visited then President George W. Bush. In fact the current controversy is reminiscent of that visit. The Chinese insisted it was a state visit, despite U.S. assurances it was only an official one. The “state visit” label would have implied a bigger honor to Hu and to China, but Bush only had a handful of state visits and Hu’s wasn’t one of them.

The Creditors Flag: To Fly the Flag of the Financiers of our Indebted, "Hope And Change" future Weimar Republic Two of the major financiers of the socialist utopia envisioned by the Democrats are the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank and the Communist Chinese. Just as the liberals and progressives of Wall street financed Leon Trotsky's emigration from Manhattan to overthrow the Russian representative government of Kerensky, the descendants of these progressive Marxist in Manhattan ( such as those in Goldman Sachs) have financed the the new, one-world Marxist revolution in Washington. The irony is that these progressives and plutocrats have colluded and conspired with their fellow travelers in Beijing to overthrow our conservative,capitalist republic with the capital the Chinese acquired by the Republican policy of free trade. Because our "for sale or rent"Congress has neglected Alexander Hamilton's wise policy of collecting tariffs from foreigners rather than extorting taxes from our citizens, we are in debt t the communist Chinese. Large loans require terms, conditions, interest and collateral. Under he influence of the bribery ( I mean lobbying) on K Street in Washington, our nation is in debt.. The Obama hope and change utopia can only last as long as the Chinese extend credit. We live like drunks on a credit card. The euphoria will last only as long as the bartender's machine does not say "declined". Then we are impoverished and in deb. Likewise, our country will be forced to sell assets, grant chartered monopolies, give away drilling rights, and enact restrictive environmental legislation that further cripple American industries so that they can not compete against China. ( Can you say Cap and Trade?) Since we have become a financial client state and fief of Beijing ( as well as Manhattan and Tel aviv) we must pay homage as well as tribute to our creditors. With the Obama Administration's trillions of dollars in debt foisted upon Weimar America, the Chinese flag means "Welcome . Open under new ownership".

G 20 Progressive plutocracy comes to pittsburgh Just as there were Tories in The American Revolution willing to subject their fellow citizens to the rule of foreign kings and nobles, there are politicians in both parties that are willing to subject our nation to the rule of these financial lords and despots. Just as the Tories were willing to give taxes, tribute and obedience to the foreign lords of Europe, these modern day Tories are willing to force us us to pay tribute, homage, obedience and taxes to the plutocratic aristocracy represented in Pittsburgh at the G 20. As The Obama Administration, the Democrats in Congress and the Robber Baron financiers of the New World Order destroy our Constitutional republic and purposely transform America into Weimar Germany, we can only wonder if they have already designated a Fuhrer in the wings? There is one consolation concerning this G 20 convention. Just as the various estates of Europe fought for control of their serfs, so there are ambitious and avaricious lords who will presume to usurp all power and refuse to obey their financial betters. There will also be a contingent of the progressives, liberals and socialist who believe in supreme authority of the politician and the bureaucrat. We can see these neo-Jacobin mobs ready to riot and rampage at every meeting of international bankers or capitalist. Given enough power, politicians that can not be controlled by the monied interest often become the confiscators of plutocrats' wealth. Dictatorships often started as subservient puppets of the wealthy plutocracy but ended as tyrants who turned upon those who financed their rise to power. Perhaps in this struggle for the balance of power, we the people can keep our Constitutional republic? Michael Guy

... Michael thanks for well worded and accurate assessment. Having grown up during WW2 old school style with patched clothes and sometimes cardboard for shoe leather we schoolers were not taught any thing about Federal. Until I was a grown man no one thought about the banks being corner stores used to steal from the public. Hopefully since the current debacle of dollar devaluation foreclosures and even some divorces impressed upon us most folks are now aware that the FEDERAL RESERVE Bank is neither federal nor reserve. Both its name and condition are outright lies since it RESERVES the right to total control over the currency and prints paper like a drunken sailor. The only reserve it has are the machines it prints with. It is long past time for the congress to assume its proper control over the money in our nation restore its value and be the men our fore fathers meant them to be as regards the financial affairs of our people. The FEDBANK is adamantly opposed to an audit. We need to be supporting this proposed law with all our phones e-mails and letters to congress. The best idea is to do away with the FRB altogether!!!
