Locals responded with shock after the Cobblers Falcon pub in Mandurah, Western Australia, appeared to fly two communist China flags on Australia Day.

But the hotel, part of the Hong Kong-owned Australian Venue Co, denied having any role in the flying of the flags, which it is believed were hung just after closing time on Jan. 25.
