During the 2019 Flushing Lunar New Year parade the New York City Police Department's ceremonial color guard carries 2 new additional flags: that of communist China and free Korea. Conspicuously absent: that of free Taiwan. Note in the photos below, the prominent position of the communist flag next to that of the American. Who decided this?

It is time for Taiwan to proclaim independence.
Taiwanese people are Polynesian and
have lived under both Japan and CHina.
Taiwan have more in common with Phillipines.
Taiwan was Dutch at same time as Flushing,
which is why Taiwanese were amongst first in FLushing.
