The Chinese Flag, or National Flag of China (中国国旗), is also known as the Five-star Red Flag (Wǔxīng Hóngqí).
The flag of China is a 3:2 ratio flag with a red background and 5 golden stars in the top left-hand corner. 4 of these stars wrap around the largest star in the corner.
The first flag of China as we know it today was hoisted by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) on 1 October 1949, overlooking Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
