TAIWANESE flags are unlikely to be flown in the territory this year to celebrate the island's National Day.
Pro-Taiwan groups decided after a special meeting yesterday not to fly the flag publicly.
But the Hong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council, which has held Double Tenth celebrations for almost 50 years, remained divided on whether the flag should be hoisted at the party venue.
The council's chief secretary Lee Kwok-keung said some members preferred to stick to tradition.
'We have been organising Double Tenth celebrations since 1948, and what we do this year may have an impact on future practices, so some members would like to fly the flag as we did before.
'But some hope to further liaise with the SAR Government to make sure that it is perfectly OK to do so in the legal sense,' Mr Lee said.
