The Hsing-chung Hui flag was designed by Lu Hao-tung and is currently the KMT flag.
The Hsing-chung Hui (興中會 Pinyin: xīngzhōnghú), translated as the Revive China Society or the Society for Regenerating China, was founded by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen on November 24, 1894 to forward the goal of establishing prosperity for China and as a platform for future revolutionary activities.
Since Sun was an exile from China at the time, the society was founded in Honolulu, Hawaii. Those admitted to the society swore the following oath:
Expel the foreigners, revive China, and establish a unified governmenent. (驅逐韃虜,恢復中華,建立合眾政府)
China has consistently insisted that the ocean be peacefully utilized, and jointly developed and protected, and disputes over maritime matters be settled in a fair manner.
China took part in the establishment of the ISA and was elected as one of its first B-level council member states.
China has put the issue of rational utilization and protection of marine resources and the marine environment into the overall, cross-century plans for national economic and social development, and has adopted the sustainable development of marine programs as a basic strategy.
