Chinese Communist Emblem

Chinese Communist Emblem
This emblem on the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, symbolizes the Chinese Communist Party’s philosophy of uniting all elements of society under the leadership of the party. The large star represents the Communist Party and the four smaller stars identify the peasants, the workers, the bourgeoisie, and the capitalists.
