National Flag [Ratio 2:3]
China's flag has been the same since the creation of the People's Republic on 1 October 1949. The large single star represents the Chinese Communist Party, while the four smaller stars represent the workers, peasants, petty bourgeoise and 'patriotic' capitalists.




Naval Ensign & War Flag [Ratio 2:3]
The naval ensign and war flag is similar to the national flag, but the four small stars are replaced by the characters 8 and 1, representing 1 August 1928, when the People's Liberation Army was founded.
