Depends who "good" and "evil" are in that interaction?Chinas flag is illustrated along with those of the other nations, so I don't know whether China is represented by both bird & dragon?Whatever the politics of the situation, the bird & dragon still presumably represent the triumph of good over evil, the internationals over China, whatever.
