Schumer waved the flag moments after organizers played China’s national anthem over the loudspeakers.

National Review writer Jimmy Quinn wrote, “[Schumer] and other top New York politicians appeared onstage at a rally, preceding an annual parade in Manhattan’s Chinatown, alongside Huang Ping, a hard-line Chinese ambassador who publicly denies Beijing’s human-rights abuses, and Wu Xiaoming, a senior consular official linked to China’s secret police station in New York.”

Quinn also noted that New York Governor Kathy Hochul waved a PRC flag at last year’s parade — but appeared to avoid taking one during this year’s event.
Interestingly, that video did not include Hochul’s remarks to the crowd, during which she held and waved a PRC flag.

Schumer took the flag that was being handed to Hochel.
The senator has not publicly commented on the incident.
