Chinese factory found making Tibetan flags: reports
Posted 7 hours 13 minutes ago
Reports in a Hong Kong newspaper say police in China
have discovered a factory making thousands of Tibetan flags for
activist groups overseas.
The Ming Pao newspaper in Hong Kong says the Tibetan flags were being made at a factory in the southern province of Guangdong.
It says the factory owner was just fulfilling an order and was not
aware of the sensitivity of the flags which are outlawed by the Chinese
authorities.
The case reportedly came to light because some workers at the
factory recognised the distinctive snow mountain lion design on the
flag from watching HK TV.
They checked the significance of the flag on the internet before alerting the authorities.
