Now I know that national flags are flown for offical visits from heads of state but the ground is not a head of state.

The national flag of the People's Republic of China (PRC) will be hoisted at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on September 20, media reported Sunday.

Chinese associations in the United States had applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US President’s residence to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC.
Chen Ronghua, chairman of Fujian Association of the United States, told reporters that their application was approved not only because of the sound Sino-US relations but also because China is a responsible country.

"Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing Olympics," said Chen.

More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.

Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people.

So we are have a celebration on the White house lawn on the founding of a COMMUNIST nation. Anyone other than me see a proble with that? Will we also have one for Cuba?

Yes so responsible that they gave us toys laced with lead and have numerious human rights violations.

I think most Americans were inpressed with the "Bird's nest" and "water cube"
