This is the right one
via WikipediaWhen Chinese mobs go out rioting, subtlety is far away. Not only do they attack an American, thinking that he is French (not that physically attacking French would be in order), they also start to burn the Dutch flag in Hefei, thinking it is the French tricolore, reports the China Digital Times.
It looks like Dutch backpackers, who often put the Dutch flag on their clothes expecting to get a friendly welcome, should for the time being look for another flag.
Pretty busy at those gatherings at Carrefour, according to this picture, but then it does not take much in China to get a bit of a crowd. I will start repeating: "Wo bu shi faguo ren, wo shi fiji ren". Better safe than sorry.

It was not the Dutch flag, it was the tricoleur decoration banner from Carrefour.-Leo
If you look at the original BBS post you can see it is indeed the French flag and not the Dutch one: http://www.sy18.com/Club/Dispbbs-2-30583.html
