We're enjoying the irony that one Chinese garment factory has been caught manufacturing forbidden Tibet freedom flags. The factory owner claims he had no idea what the brightly colored flags meant. He was shopped by some workers who saw images of similar flags on TV.
Police seized thousands of boxed flags from the factory, which is in the country's richest province, Guangdong, in Southern China. Chinese authorities fear thousands more may have already been exported in time for Olympic torch protests in Hong Kong and beyond. I'm sure the Dalai Lama would be most amused, since he's well endowed in the humor department.
