I wouldn't fear any uber-patriotic nationalism from them just because they have flags on their desk. HR probably just hands them out with the name plates to everyone when they're hired.

My mother works for a city government office and they handed out those flags for birthdays last year. She wasn't happy about it at all.

What it's a sign of is some Chinese company making a lot of money off cheap trinkets.
