A daily dose of irony ...

As I study more about China, I keep running across marvelous news stories.


"Free Tibet" Flags Made in China
This one in particular caught my eye. Its a gem about how China's production capacity seems to have gotten away from them. Also, how just about anything you can get these days could bear a "Made in China" stamp.


It seems a factory in southern China was discovered to be turning out lovely, brightly coloured "Free Tibet" flags. Many of these flags were manufactured, packed, and shipped off to Hong Kong where they will likely make an appearance in anti-China protests later this week. It's all too delicious, and I would chuckle just as much if it were the American government falling prey to its own contradictory interests.
