Flag of the People’s Republic of China

The flag of the People’s Republic of China dates back to 1949, when Mao Zedong founded the People’s Republic. The dominant color of the flag is the traditional color of China, red, which is also indicative of communism and revolutionary sentiments. In the pole part of the flag, we find one large and four small stars, the symbolism of which is interpreted differently. One theory holds that the large star represents the Communist Party and the small stars the four social classes in China – workers, farmers, tradesmen and capitalists. Another explanation agrees about the big star, but says that the small stars symbolize the four smaller political parties that were allowed in China. According to others, the stars may symbolize the country’s five largest ethnic groups.

China Flag

The People’s Republic of China is the country with the largest area in East Asia. See China Location on World Map. A fifth of the world’s population lives here. A third of them live in the plains of the East. Other names for the PR China are the outdated term Red China and mainland China, which is mainly used in the English-speaking area.

The People’s Republic of China was classified as a developing country until the 1990s, but has increasingly developed into a great power since it was partially opened up after the “Cultural Revolution”. It represents the “one China policy” internationally, the official recognition of which it has been enforcing in the West since the early 1970s. Economically, China is currently very dynamic, so that the current five-year plan already provides for a throttling against possible overheating. In order to curb the rapid population growth, the one-child policy applies, although this has been weakened in recent years. In the last few decades the population has grown from over 3% to below 1%.
