Police in Guangdong have raided a factory making Tibetan flags to be sent overseas. Workers and factory owners said they didn't know what the flag meant they just thought it was a colourful flag.
The mistake was noticed when some of the workers saw pictures of the protests and recognised the flag. They raised the alarm with the local authorities who then raided the factory. Workers checked the meaning of the flag by searching for it online.
It is believed that many hundreds of flags made in the factory have already been shipped to Hong Kong and further.
Authorities in the area have increased control over peoples movement, they are searching vehicles heading to Hong Kong.
What have we learnt about China then? The 'Great Fire Wall' is cracking, if workers were able to look up the Tibetan flag and that the protests have been reported in mainland China. And that the CCP just loves to look stupid - so lets help them out!
