H-ASIA *************************************************** From: Roland Spickermann <spickermann@earthlink.net> Subject: Flag of the PRC and the Cultural Revolution Here is an innocent inquiry from someone who teaches about China as a non-specialist. Did anyone during the Cultural Revolution mention the discrepancy of attacking all those with incorrect class backgrounds under a flag whose stars depicted the alliance of four social classes (two of which were bourgeois) under the Party's leadership? Did anyone consider changing the flag to make it more politically correct?
