A Chinese man has been sentenced to six months in jail in northwest
China's Qinghai Province, for burning the national flag.

The man, surnamed Zhao, got into a fight with two students in a middle
school in Datong County on April 5. When Zhao chased the two students
into their dormitory building, he was driven out of the school by
teachers.

Bearing a grudge against the teachers, Zhao returned to the dormitory
building, entered the teachers' room and destroyed a number of objects
there.

He then went to the school playground, lowered the national flag and
burnt it.

Zhao was sued by the school and sentenced to six months in prison by a
local court for insulting the national flag.

According to Chinese law, organizations and citizens must respect and
treasure the national flag.
