Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) is demanding that Philadelphia reverse its decision to hold a flag-raising event honoring the anniversary of the founding of communist China.
Philadelphia will raise China’s five-star flag on Sept. 30 at City Hall to commemorate the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) National Day.
