Description

The flag of China, also known as the Five-star Red Flag, features a large red field with five golden stars in the top-left corner. The stars are arranged in a five-pointed star pattern, with one large star surrounded by four smaller ones. The large star represents the Communist Party of China, while the smaller stars represent the four social classes in China as described by Mao Zedong’s theory of the people’s democratic dictatorship: the working class, the peasantry, the urban petite bourgeoisie, and the national bourgeoisie. The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution and the bloodshed that occurred during China’s struggle for independence and communist revolution.
