a serious confusion of Chinese flags which are three in question. The first is the flag of Kuomintang or the Nationalist Party whi trols the Government of China; the) second the flag of China as a or state; and the third is the flag which the recently created by external force and yet unrecognized government or governments have adopted to be the new flag-of-China or rather readopted as the old one. This is the so-called "five-bar" or five-colour" flag. The second which I mentioned is the Jenito' Mussolini's so-called "heaven-sun-and-earth" flag with a red ground, a blue corner and a white sun therein, The first is the so-called "heaven-and-sun" flag witn a blue ground and a white sun in the centre. The Chinese people throughout the country revere the "heaven-sun-and-earth" flag as their national flag and nations of the world all recognize it as the cession, I see it hoisted sometimes, but not the flag of Kuomintang anytime in 1939.
It is true, of course, that the adoption and recognition of the "heaven-sun-and-earth" flag as the flag of or effort of Kuomintang; but absolutely true that the flag belong to, nor identify itself Likewise there is to be remembered that the of China or China as a is a result of the strenuous Kuomintang, but not its identity.
