Således denne sag fra BBC:
Police in southern China have discovered a factory manufacturing Free Tibet flags, media reports say.
The factory in Guangdong had been completing overseas orders for the flag of the Tibetan government-in-exile.
Workers said they thought they were just making colourful flags and did not realise their meaning.
But then some of them saw TV images of protesters holding the emblem and they alerted the authorities, according to Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper.
The factory owner reportedly told police the emblems had been ordered from outside China, and he did not know that they stood for an independent Tibet.
Workers who had grown suspicious checked the meaning of the flag by going online.
Thousands of flags had already been packed for shipping.
Stakkels fabriksejer. Døden ved nakkeskud er nok den mildeste straf han kan forvente for sin uvidenhed. Og hvad med arbejderne? Jeg troede Kina opretholdt en benhård censur på internettet, men det lykkedes dem alligevel at finde noget så u-kinesisk som et tibetansk flag. Det er nok slut med at lave flag for deres vedkommende. Måske de får fast arbejde de næste ti år på en legetøjs-"fabrik" i det Ydre Mongoli? Så ka' de lære det, ka' de!
