No Chinese Flags Here
March 19th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda
State Lawmakers are literally wrapping themselves in the flag…but only flags made in America. Legislation approved by a House committee at the State Capitol today would require state, county, and municipal governments to buy only American made US and State Flags. The Chinese have supplied only about one percent of the flags sold in the U-S, but Sponsor Bob Cortes of Maitland says the percentage of Chines flags being sold in America is on the rise.
“So we’ve seen a drop …of more Chinese flags being imported this year, and we want to make sure that the flags that are flown on our buildings publicly are made here” says Cortes.
The legislation specifies America as the origin of production after the sponsor says he learned of a Chinese city named USA.
