• Alternate Flag - TransChinese
I was personally not a fan of the prior flag design, so I took it upon myself to create another design.
TransChinese is a term for those who feel like they should be from China or should nationally become Chinese.
This humble design is woven from the forms of two banners. It was arranged according to my personal inclination, yet should you favor the design, it may be employed at your discretion.
As for the hues and their divisions, I have ventured to attach certain meanings to them, should such trifling fancies be of any passing interest.
The Five Stars - are from the Chinese flag. Regarding the Chinese flag, they symbolize the country's national unity under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The large star represents the CPC, while the four smaller stars represent the four social classes-workers, peasants, petite bourgeoisie, and national bourgeoisie, united in the Chinese revolution.
