“Raising the flag gives us the opportunity to show the openness to the people of China, the business people of China, to show that we welcome that investment and we welcome the prosperity,” [Councilman Benny] Lee said, according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Home> U.S. Calif. Mayor Suspends City Plan to Fly China Flag

The mayor of San Leandro has suspended the city's plan to raise China's flag to mark the founding of the People's Republic of China. Mayor Stephen Cassidy said Thursday that the city doesn't fly the flags of other nations at City Hall, and that a "time out" is needed to let residents weigh in on whether that policy should change

Its been nixed.

I don't know if it's real or not, OP. The Daily Paul reports that the Mayor/Council backtracked after loud public disapproval...(the Commie flag won't be flown after all)

Of course the above comes from Alex Jones' Infowars (which I take with a grain of salt)...so each person must make up their own mind as to the truth or lack thereof...

its coming from ABC news as well but i guess the mayor over ruled the vote.

California the land of the nut job politicians.
I am glad to see that many Californians will not put up with this.

Wow... What a brain fart. Lets go honor Chairman Mao. Who could possibly ever see a problem with that??

Mao was only responsible for the deaths of upwards to 40 million civilians across his own nation during the cultural revolution. (Source)

I mean, what is there not to like about the guy? Did the 4 who voted to honor that guy also show approval when Obama wanted to militarily hit Syria? That would be ironic, wouldn't it? The suggestion of Assad killing hundreds, perhaps thousands ...and war-wide? 10s of thousands counting all the rebels, brings calls to arms and action.

Yet...as one rather infamous leader in another nation remarked, beyond a certain point? It's merely a statistic and so City councils vote to honor Mao and his 10's of millions. Go figure...and at least they have a Mayor with some backbone.

Good, a win for the good guys! We don't need that kind of Statist symbology flying high in the free American skies.

...now they can raise the gold-fringed martial/industrial "stars and stripes" representative of no constitution or nation, so that there can be no mistake of who owns the jurisdiction. All the while creating color of law legislation between their fasces iconography.

Yay nationalism! We're free again. Free at last.

So let me get this straight...
US government forcing other nations to implement multicultralism in their society but when comes to their own all hails break loose.
Come down, probably it's their respect to minorities for raising their flag.
China is not your enemy, your brainless politicans are.

I meant China in the context of their average Joe.
It's really a not big deal to raise a flag in respect of minorities who are living in your city.

And how many died to form US? It's about a country. Not about who did what in it's history.

if they want to fly those flags then let them do so on their own property and not on the publics.
