is your prof color blind? lol.
maybe you should just print out a map of china's flag and show it to him?
but then again, he's the person who can either pass or fail you...

LOL.
You should definitely argue your point. As a professor and educator, he should know what the Chinese flag looks like.
You should e-mail him pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. But make sure the pictures say China so that he won't try to argue with you again. Haha. Send him to the Chinese embassy's website or something.
He'll probably be quite embarrassed.

That's kinda the thing: I don't want to embarass him. The mini-assignment was due today, and because he and I thought I made a mistake, he gave me 2 extra days to work on it. He's nice, right? I just think it's a little unfair if don't get to argue something valid. So e-mail is better than putting the flag and info on the flag as part of the assignment, right?

Yeah, email is a good method.
I just added the pictures + caption idea (and I meant e-mail the picture and websites, not stick them in your paper) because there are some people that stick to their incorrect point adamantly until you bring them solid evidence with footnotes and a bibliography or something. Perhaps I've just had too many unreasonable teachers, haha.
But if he's a nice guy, then that's good. =) He'll let you argue your point on the assignment. Hope all goes well! :3
