Too many stars: Vietnam in flag gaffe with China

Vietnam pulled out all the stops this week for a visit from China's expected future leader, including flags with an extra star. The gaffe came during a welcome ceremony for Xi on Wednesday when children waved flags decorated with six stars. China's flag has only five stars, one big star surrounded by four smaller ones.
