Perhaps we should go and burn down some buddhist temples and beat the monks in the streets with batons. To celebrate the day that China took Tibet back. That seems like a good plan.

Calm down everyone.
Are we so fragile that a group of Chinese Americans celebrating the founding of their country and raising their flag for one day threatens you in some way?

It's the end of the world!!! How could we be so insulted?

if this was a celebration of the birth of a communist country, shouldn't it be a USSR flag?

In seriousness though, I'm not so sure that this has been proven a hoax.
The way I see it is that the dignitary from China has said that he was given permission to raise the flag from the South Lawn.
What I see here is a void between what we BELIEVE is the truth, and what has been factually reported.
I want to know who was behind it.
This thread doesn't need [hoax] tags, because the OP did NO SUCH THING!

Also, I gave you one of those stars. Jeeze, I am acting like a troll in this thread. ...
Not really, I'm trying to keep it up and joking with some folks along the way.
I didn't mean to star your post, wish I could take that back.
