Empire State Building turns red-yellow for China's 60th
(AFP) – 6 hours ago
NEW YORK — New York's iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China.
The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the colors of the People's Republic until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said in a statement.
The upper sections of the building are regularly illuminated to mark special occasions, ranging from all blue to mark "Old Blue Eyes" Frank Sinatra's death in 1998 to green for the annual Saint Patrick's Day.
Just last week the tower turned bright red.
However, that was not to mark some other communist achievement, but the 70th anniversary of the film "The Wizard of Oz" in which Dorothy wears ruby slippers rather than the silver of the original L. Frank Baum novel.

Doesn't China have an ownership interest?

No, sorry. I doubt the group in the article decided to do this. Celebrating other countries birthdays, especially a ideology rubs bothers me.

It's just one of the perks for agreeing to loan Uncle Sam $2 trillion dollars. For another $2 trillion we'll light up the Lincoln Memorial.

No, sorry. I doubt the group in the article decided to do this.

You doubt the owners of the Empire State Building would have decided how to shine the lights on their own building.

Celebrating other countries birthdays, especially a ideology rubs bothers me.

Take it up with the owners of the building.
