The flag of the People's Republic of China represents both ethnic and ideological ideals.



The ethnic symbolism is a fact of Chinese life: The large star represents the majority Han people of China and the 4 minor races, Manchurians, Mongolians, Tibetans, and Uighurs.



The ideological interpretation is that the red field symbolizes communist revolution, while the four small stars represent the classes of the People's Republic: workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie, and patriotic capitalists. The large star represents the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.
