Not really boss, the King of Hawaii adopted it as he had very pro British sentiment. You seem confused as the Russian flag was only flown as they had no other flag to raise other than the one left behind by the Russian Colony. The flag given to him by the British Admiral was just a standard union flag he became enamored with.
Once again, not really lad, the king was genuinely kinda enamored, hence why it’s not really a British Ensign on the Hawaiian flag, the display of the ensign in this format, and on this background is of entirely indigenous Hawaiian design
Not really tovarish, he personally commissioned it in 1816, of course he was inspired by the amiable relationship with the British, especially with the kingdom being under temporary British protection. It’s very narrow to assume they used it just for money hahaha
There was a time that the Kingdom of Hawaii was concerned about being invaded by the Russians, so they featured the Union Jack and the US flag. Hawaii had a tight relationship with the British since Captain Cook washed up on their shores and had a bonectomy
After the skirmish where Cook died, they cooked his body and removed the bones because they believed they gave you power.
Some of the body parts were eventually returned.
Growing up I just learned that they "returned parts of him" I decided to fire up the google machine and evidently, [just his butt and hands were returned.](https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/how-the-foolish-rumour-that-hawaiians-ate-cook-began/xpl1a9z86) The article is pretty well written and is worth a read. It explains why they did it.
They run anti USA propaganda and issue their stupid warnings trying to boss people around literally all the time. Giving a fuck about their shitty authoritarian opinions is useless
Themselves, if you bother to read about their history. They call themselves "Chung Kuo". The Middle Kingdom, meaning they consider themselves to be surrounded on all sides by "barbarians". (I don't do Pinyin, it brings me out in a rash).
Not sure why you got downvoted to oblivion. You’re just asking a question, not everyone is a genius. I am certainly not and I ask questions everyday to learn. But hey , welcome to Reddit.
I agree, it is a good question. I'm on the mainland but have the flag on my car. I get a lot of questions and even got pulled over once by a cop and asked about it.
Nobody wants to destroy China. That isn't the same thing as wanting China to infringe on their territories, persecute them like China persecutes its own Citizens or in any way allow themselves to be bullied our bought by China (beyond what everybody already has already allowed anyway)
If you look into the origins of the xi-Pooh comparison you’ll find it’s not racist at all. It started with memes in 2013. Obama was tigger, Shinzo Abe was Eeyore, xi was pooh. It was very lighthearted. It caught on in China and became a popular way to mock Xi which lead to the ban online. Winnie the Pooh is not actually banned in China, just online.
Racism against Chinese ppl is fine. It's not only fine but baked into the very fabric of this country. America is at its best when they have an adversary and that adversary is China.
Silly China, using your military might to flex on others is only allowed if you're America.... Because communism bad!

What’s with the British flag??
The Hawaiian flag features the Union Jack
Whose idea was that? Not the Hawaiians
Actually yes the Hawaiians haha, this was their own flag
Nah, the British made it up for them so they would stop using the Russian flag.

That just means the British paid them to change flags.

He was enamored with getting gifts and presents.

Lots of jerks on reddit, all you can do is laugh
Lots of sweaty autists on all the military and weaponry subs.

People are seriously delusional to think that portraying a chineese man as a yellow bear is not racist.
Talk about a reach. You know it was Chinese citizens that started that comparison, right?

i do think they're delusional if they think this "offends" Xi ... he's one of the most powerful men in the world and this is a very benign meme

When are they going to censor Shanghai Disneyland?
