Pretty sure he was joking there?

  It seems like a joke at first, but once you take into account China's previous actions it's actually quite likely.

    Like the (brief) period when the sense of traffic lights was changed, so that "red" indicated "go". This makes perfect sense, since anything red must of course stand for making progress.

      I was actually just trying to make a bayesian joke, but I think it was a little too subtle.

      If you watch the stock market news in China on TV, a stock highlighted in red means it went up, and green means down.

        That's an interesting sidenote. I wonder if it's a subtle psychological trick to not associate red with negative connotations (such as "declining profits", "stop", "blood") because the color red is part of the CPC's identity makeup.Or maybe it's just a cultural thing, like how they wear white when someone died and black to celebrate a birth/life (I'm not sure if it is a chinese custom however, but I know it's an asian custom).
