China's national symbol, the national flower, has not been decided on for 30 years. The Chinese government has postponed the selection of the peony, which has been considered the most likely choice for the country's symbol.
The National Forestry and Grassland Administration, which is in charge of the selection, announced on the 30th that it had postponed making a decision. Nearly 80% of people supported the ``peony,'' while previous discussions by the government have shown that in addition to the ``plum,'' there were also opinions such as ``orchid'' and ``lotus.''
