What ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ means

China's national flag: a red field with one large and four small yellow stars. People send it for the People's Republic, its people and Chinese culture.

People use ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ for travel, Chinese-language study, food, and sports such as table tennis. It appears around National Day on 1 October and in news posts.

Many Chinese speakers outside mainland China use other flags or none, since the flag stands for the state rather than the language or the culture as a whole.
