Why was the boy's flag upside down......distress signal???

Question

The small boy in the opening of the olympics carried the Chinese flag upside down.....if you did that with an American flag it would be a destress signal......was the boy telling us something???

Answer 1

He was probably like that one kid in 5th grade that accidentally put the flag upside down, in my opinion he was trying to say that he was proud of his country and to show that he was flying his flag.

But then again it could be some things that are tossed under the rug to make China look like the head honcho so to make sure the world knows that China needs help the kid flew the flag upside down.

Only that kid knows what he was trying to tell the world maybe we should go and ask him.
