gotta admit he stumped me.

So far as San Francisco's Chinatown is concerned, it never did become Communist China, ever.

The Tiawanese flag, flown by Chiang Kai-Shek leader of the Kuomintang (the "KMT" party) to this day, still flies proudly over the buildings there even though CHiang and the KMT were driven off the mainland of China back in 1949 by Mao Tse Tung and his band of Communists, and the KMT then set up shop on the island of Taiwan, where your umbrella was made.

Just like the red and yellow flag of South Vietnam flies over little Vietnam (City of Westminster, in Orange County California to this day, even thought that country was lost to the communists on April 30, 1975)
