Workers at a factory in Guangdong, unknowing of the product they were producing, are making “Free Tibet” flags to fulfill an order from outside China.
Workers said they thought they were just making colourful flags and did not realise their meaning.
After seeing the flag of an exiled Tibet on news reports, several workers reportedly contacted the police of this affair. The factory manager was said to be oblivious to the meaning behind the flag.
Thousands of flags have already been packed for shipping, and an unknown amount have already been sent.
Ironic, isn’t it?
