Very nice flag, definitely a nice one and since my grandfather was in the CBI i'm definitely biased when it comes to Chinese stuff in that theater

Hey rich nice flag. Do you think the flag is WWII era or later? Is it cotton or some other material? Is there a rope?

It felt like cotton. I do not remember if it had a rope. I have to look for it to know for sure. Rich A. in Pa.

Is the flag all blue with the sun design or a red field with blue upper quadrant/sun?

Red with the sun on blue. Rich A. in Pa.

ROC flags of the period tend to have a side sleeve so that a stick or tube would go into it. Not sure about strings. If it has a grommet, it is mostly likely made in the US. The sleeves are still used on ROC flags in Taiwan. I have seen the poly flags with it over there.

 

Officially, it should be a 2/3 ratio. Most didn't follow it or were close to it. If it is more 3x5, it would be probably US made.

 

Sometimes it can be easy to tell if it is WWII or post war. Like the shape of the sun, pointy rays. Once on Taiwan, I think the flags were more constant in shape and size. But not easy at times, since a 1950s flag can be easily sold as WWII period.
