And you simply have no idea that there are actual protocols for raising foreign flags, and that they were followed - with an answer previously offered:Hahaha. I give you specifics and you have no reply.
You are a waste of space with empty arguments.
Your sole example was a demonstration of your ignorance.There are protocols for flying foreign flags and they were followed to the letter.

I would not fly the french fren here at home, but that is up to the individual, i am opposed to flying any foreign flag on a public building except of course for a delegation visit or an 8nternational event world convention, sport etc
You can or not care about my input but after working in China for 2 years, i think in the above you are making a fundamental mistake
While Australian from Chinese background can genuinely act feel and truly believe they are Australian, this is NOT how China see it.
For China, they are overseas Chinese, and they will stay so even after generations.
Han forever.
What better example than Taiwan?
I worked with a Malaysian born but
In China, he is an oversea Chinese
This is the reason China has no issue arresting various passport holders as long as they once were Chinese or are from Chinese background.
Or ask/demand them to act as mole or spy
In Shenzhen, there is an OCT
Overseas Chinese Town with chamber of commerce, hotels, even amusement park dedicated
And it is much used by enterprises owned by Chinese ethnic foreigners from the world over
Even reading the China Daily, you will find numerous references to this term:
Oversea Chinese
But what would i know
"China" can see it how ever they want, but that each person is an individual, not some automaton controlled by the government of their former home land.
Interesting court case in the US.
After the book was released the father of one of children killed was accused of being a liar received death threats.
The guy who wrote the book is still firmly convinced no one was killed and it was all a fake event.
Sandy Hook father awarded $450,000 after suing conspiracy theorist
Father of boy killed in Newtown school shooting sued James Fetzer and Mike Palacek over their book Nobody Died at Sandy Hook

True but practical usage often overlooks that distinction on all sides.'cept nationalities aren't necessarily racial groups. The context would have to make it clear that an ethnic/racial group is being referred to.
I'm of the opinion which she was of racism for absolutely genuine incidences of such. Otherwise it just diminishes the meaning of the word. And to be honest that is exactly what is happening, being called a racist means absolutely nothing anymore.True but practical usage often overlooks that distinction on all sides.
Eg those who express a dislike of Americans aren’t strictly being racist but it’s a similar concept of expressing hate based on where someone was born or currently lives.
The distinction between the people and their government remains regardless of the details.
I do agree with your point there.I'm of the opinion which she was of racism for absolutely genuine incidences of such. Otherwise it just diminishes the meaning of the word. And to be honest that is exactly what is happening, being called a racist means absolutely nothing anymore.
It's almost to the stage where it just means you are not part of the extreme woke left.... Which is a positive.
In practical use I'll suggest that most who say they don't like China or the US are referring to the government and are not not the people and as such are not being racist.
Where was the logical fallacy?The same logical fallacy is exhibited towards the discussion on religion which I won't go into here....
You may well be a bigot, but could not be a racist.... if you criticise some aspect of a religion's teaching then you are a racist or a bigot.
Bigotry is not a diversion!It's an easy diversion to throw out in order to avoid an intellectual discussion....
Given that the only evidence of religions is that there are religions, because there is a palpable shortage of the many gods being invoked.... an intellectual discussion of their theology which they can't support with evidence.
You may well be a bigot, but could not be a racist.
Where was the logical fallacy?
It seems a good question so how could it be intolerant?Ah ok, if I question the pretext that God created the Universe in 7 days, I would be a bigot would I ?
That's an assumption as distinct from a fallacy.The logical fallacy was that if you question the policy of a government you automatically hate all the people in that country.
