That picture is a little suspicious. Look at them "holding" the top of the "flag."

Can you clarify? The picture's a little small, but I don't think I'm picking up what you're alluding to.

  It definitely looks like they were holding up a posterboard and the flag has been photoshopped in.

  When I zoom in (ctrl+) it appears to me that the people across the top aren't actually holding the flag. The guy on our left is- with one hand, but the others don't seem to be (at least to me, but I'm no photoshop-spotter expert). That is, part of their hands doesn't seem to be blocked by the flag the way I would expect if they were holding it. The woman in red on our right also doesn't seem to be holding it. It's perhaps a cardboard sign or something? Maybe the picture of the flag was put over it? Again, I'm no expert but it looks off to me.

    I tracked down the source of the image and it seems to be here: https://c.m.163.com/news/a/EL1772BO05322C4C.html https://c.m.163.com/news/a/EL1772BO05322C4C.html [1], dated july 26, 2019. If it's a photoshop, then it's a very long con.

Yep, and the bottom left. It looks more like they were holding a poster.

Running it through a free online photo forensics tool reveals significant artifacts around the "flag", "logo", as well as each person (especially faces) The entire image could be a composite. fotoforensics.com/analysis.php?id=ffaac5beff95e49e8bd59097ac36afb61e83086c.59039&show=ela

I cap this picture from Chinese media. Also, It is common knowledge that big techs in Chinese have CCP division setup in it.
