Update: A Chinese Flag Flying in Freeport, Illinois? [View all] monmouth Oct 2012 OP

Not only did they insult Americans on American soil by putting the Chinese flag up, ywcachieve Oct 2012 #1

No, that didn't happen. You should stop saying it happened, because it didn't. Schema Thing Oct 2012 #3

It did happen, and here is one video of proof. ywcachieve Oct 2012 #10

Nowhere in the video does an employee mention a Chinese flag IDemo Oct 2012 #15

Listen to the complete video, you will hear a male worker talk about the Chinese flag being raised ywcachieve Oct 2012 #22

Watch the video again--the worker never mentions a Chinese flag. nt pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #23

Here is another article talking about how the US flag was lowered ywcachieve Oct 2012 #36

Do you even watch or read the links you post? pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #37

The video does mention a Chinese being raised. ywcachieve Oct 2012 #39

Repeating the falsehood doesn't magically make it true pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #40

I have listened to the entire video 4 times, carefully IDemo Oct 2012 #24

Listen closely as one of the employees of the plant say the Chinese flag was raised at the plant. ywcachieve Oct 2012 #13

The ONLY pplace a flag of another country should be flying on US Soil benld74 Oct 2012 #31

Actually foreign flags fly along side of the US flag quite often. FSogol Oct 2012 #38

U may be correct, yet in the case mentioned in the article, I do not believe it is right. benld74 Oct 2012 #48

Reports that the company raised the Chinese flag were false pinboy3niner Oct 2012 #49

Fortunately reality disagrees with ridiculous xenophobic kneejerks. (nt) Posteritatis Oct 2012 #42
