S3-E13 - The Flag of Taiwan (?)

You'll see the "Blue Sky, White Sun, and Red Earth" flag
everywhere across Taiwan, and each year, streets are lined with
this banner to celebrate Double Ten Day on October 10th. But is
it really the flag of Taiwan? Who designed it? Today's episode is
all about the ROC flag: an engrossing tale involving Dr. Sun
Yat-sen, a martyr, warlords, and more. Learn about
the various flags which contended for the honor to represent
the Republic of China. Had fate gone differently, there
might have been a five-striped banner flying from Taiwan’s
flagpoles, or a really strange one which looks like (well, it has
to be seen to be believed, so best pay a quick visit to the
Formosa Files website to see the flags we’re talking about).
