A man in China posed for an internet photo with a small Chinese national flag in one hand and a lighter in the other. In addition, up to seven other people have been arrested for similar offenses. Along with several people burning flags, a man from Hangzhou was arrested for ripping a flag down and urinating on it in public. Many of these acts are being posted online with instigating comments such as “come catch me” and “I live and die with the team.” The Chinese government in return is detaining these individuals under the premise of “making insulting remarks about the national flag.”
