it's not unusual, the hammer and sickle is still commonly used by the PLA
It's actually the flag of the Communist Party of China.
I really like the round design, it's a modern take on the classic hammer and sickle symbolism.
PLA uses a different flag that has characters 8 and 1 on it, reference to the date of Nanchang uprising which marked the start of the Chinese civil war.
On the contrary, I dislike the round end of the sickle. How on earth are you supposed to use the sickle to harvest grain? You have no handle. A real sickle looks like this.
I've been digging around trying to find the original video to confirm this is true, but I can't find anything deeper than a Weibo post without one of the watermarks
Damn, communism really is when no iPhone. These guys look my grandpa trying to use their phones.
