The flag-waving took place at the Lunar New Year parade in New York City’s Chinatown, shortly after the organizers played China’s national anthem.
According to National Review writer Jimmy Quinn, Schumer, along with other prominent New York politicians, was on stage before the annual parade in Manhattan’s Chinatown. They were accompanied by Huang Ping, a Chinese ambassador known for denying Beijing’s human rights violations, and Wu Xiaoming, a senior consular official with ties to China’s secret police station in New York.

Quinn highlighted that Governor Kathy Hochul had waved a PRC flag at last year’s parade but seemed to have refrained from doing so at this year’s event. Schumer, however, accepted the flag that was intended for Hochul.
