The flag of the armed forces of China. It is red with a golden star in the upper hoist, but the star is smaller than on the national flag. Next to the star are three small lines, the Chinese numerals for "8" and "1", which stand for "August 1", to commemorate the establishment of the PLA in 1928, after the Nanchang Uprising. The flag is in the proportion of 4:5. This is a 'tri-service' flag, used primarily as a ceremonial color by regiments and larger units, as well as by defense academies.
The Land Force Flag. It is similar to the PLA flag, with the lower 40% being grass green.
The Chinese Navy jack. It is the same as Army flag except that the lower half has three blue and two white horizontal stripes of equal width. The Chinese Naval jack is also the Naval Ensign.
The flag for the Chinese air force. It is similar to that of the PLA, but the lower half being air force blue. |
