this could have been the flag of China today if they weren't communists. Do you think it's an improvement over the actual one or worse? I think black in flags looks hideous, but this flag looks nicer in comparison

Kuomintang was from China. This is what our flag looked like between Chinese and Japanese occupation though.

Every time I see this flag, I'm reminded that China has this huge, ancient history, but ironically, it never managed to come up with a symbol that actually means something. It's like a giant with a hollow core, all show, no substance. Big and loud on the outside, but when you scratch beneath the surface, there's nothing really holding it together. Honestly, it just feels like a massive empty shell trying way too hard to look important

It doesn't matter. Flags are generally gay. I know you probably have one ready to post that you think isn't gay. But it's gay. It's so gay and you don't even know.

How is it that South Korea has a more Chinese flag than the Chinese? They use that Chinese geomancy lines, and the yin and yang thing. Quite baffling indeed.

most based flag I've ever seen.

They should've gone with this one

It's strange that people consider Korea's Taegeuk to be the same as China's Taiji.
The concept of Taegeuk in Korea did not come from Chinese religious influence; it has existed since the Three Kingdoms period during the Buddhist era.
The term "太極" used is just a borrowed name, while the concept and design have been passed down in Korea for a long time.

But seriously, what the hell is this "Han Chinese" anyway? It's a made up label forced on everyone after the Xinhai Revolution. Do you really think the folks living in Beijing back then felt they belonged to the same "Han" group as ethnic on the remote slopes of Sichuan? and how the hell do they call all those people "Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien, Chaoshan, Hainanese" the same "Han chinese"? Even the languages spoken up north and down south are drastically different, not just dialects level, but basically entirely different languages.

Yes, "Han" is just a convenient fantasy to cover up massive ethnic and cultural splits that never really went away, Also that's exactly why China can never create a common symbol that truly represents them. The term "Han" itself is a modern invention designed to suppress divisions. How could such a fractured collection of peoples ever have a genuine unifying symbol?

It should be this.
