COLOMBO : It is China’s consistent stand that the national flag is a country’s symbol, which must be fully respected. The Embassy is aware of some concern about inappropriate advertising of Sri Lanka national flag on Amazon, which has been conveyed to related Chinese authorities for investigation and necessary measures accordingly. It is also learned that thousands of similar products with flags of various nations, manufactured by sellers from different countries, are available on this global online retailer, for which Sri Lankan side is approaching the platform for direct action.
The Embassy would like to emphasize that as an all-weather friend and a closest partner, China has been respecting and supporting Sri Lanka for its peace, prosperity, and dignity for decades, no matter in bilateral fields or international fora.(Press release from Chinese embassy in Colombo)
