The flag says "Christianity", which in Hong Kong means
Protestantism, but not specifically Baptist (I have confused the flag
with a similarly-shaped, non-flag emblem commonly seen in Hong Kong's
Baptist churches). The cross on the flag, but
extends to the sides of the flag, rather like the Danish national
flag. It is flown by fishing boats (and in the case I have
recently seen, a harbourside fishmonger) to indicate the owners'
Christian faith.
