As has been discussed at WP:ETHNIC (see WT:ETHNIC/FLAGS), the use of flags on these kinds of templates and articles is discouraged for reasons of WP:NPOV. This should be especially obvious in the case of China, where the vast majority people identifying as overseas Chinese left before the PRC flag came into use, and in many cases do not identify with it. 61.18.190.15 (talk) 17:34, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-05-30T17:34:00.000Z","author":"61.18.190.15","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-61.18.190.15-2012-05-30T17:34:00.000Z-Flags","replies":[]}}-->
