Include the use of the national flag to express patriotic sentiments.

The spokesman said that appropriate mechanisms will be formulated to deal with relevant matters, including how to properly handle national flags hoisted by non-governmental organizations and citizens, and to enhance applicants' understanding of relevant norms.

The road administration will fully refund the fee: there will be an exemption mechanism for promoting patriotic education.
