Why Chinese Flag Is Flying Over Philadelphia City Hall
The flag-raising marked the 76th CCP anniversary and drew bipartisan protests citing human rights abuses, with critics highlighting the regime's persecution of Uyghurs and other minorities.
- On Tuesday, Philadelphia officials raised the Chinese Communist Party flag at City Hall to mark the CCP's Oct. 1 National Day, featuring a co-organizer with ties to Beijing.
- The city's policy allows the flag-raising under the Philadelphia Honors Diversity Flag Raising Program, which uses viewpoint-neutral criteria, and officials defended it as tied to Philadelphia’s Tianjin, China sister-city relationship.
- Campaign for Uyghurs condemned the ceremony in a letter urging cancellation, with founder Rushan Abbas citing mass detention and her sister Dr. Gulshan Abbas's imprisonment.
- Lawmakers from both parties criticized the CCP flag-raising, with Rep. John Moolenaar and Rep. Ro Khanna urging Mayor Cherelle Parker to cancel the event last month.
- Critics point out that the Pennsylvania United Chinese Coalition is part of the CCP's United Front network, with similar flag-raising events held in New York City in 2023, Boston, and San Francisco.
