There were several other pro-Japanese governments set up by the Japanese occupational
troops. The first was in Beijing. They adopted the five color flag, and used a
different national anthem. It was later changed to the flag used in Chung-ching,
currently used in Taiwan.

A silk flag 80 cm by 96 cm, the fly two-thirds being the 'National Flag', the
hoist one-third being the 'Army Flag', with a silk white square at the lower
hoist stamped with the Seal of the Generalissimo of the Armed Forces [note: the
Seal shown on the flag image is a reconstruction]. A silk white vertical strip
80 cm by 11.2 cm at the hoist, bearing the name of the regiment. A blue fringe
12.8 cm long. A red flag pole 240 cm long by 6.4 cm diameter, with a bronze
spearhead finial 22.4 cm long, a red tassel 22.4 cm long, and a bronze spearhead

An auxiliary force raised in Peking (now Beijing) in 1938, these 'regiments'
were infamously armed with only wooden poles.
The colours on the flag
image is an educated guess based on numerous black-and-white photographs: A
white flag with the Five-Coloured Flag in the canton and two red five-pointed
stars arranged horizontally in the fly (the top points being level with the
bottom of the canton). A yellow vertical strip at the hoist, bearing the name of
the regiment in black letters. Approximate proportions 3:4 without the yellow
strip, 2:3 with the yellow strip. A blue (?) fringe one-tenth the width of the
flag. A red flag pole with a bronze spearhead finial, a red tassel, and a bronze
spearhead base.

Prior to World War II, the Japanese set up a puppet state in Hopei. The flag
used was the Chinese five striped flag.
Jaume Ollé, 23 March 1998
National Flag - Five Striped Flag. There was also a purported variant,
possibly fictitious, with a red flame at the centre above the slogan
"Peaceful National Construction" (和平建國) in black Chinese letters on
the white stripe.

The Water Patrol Force, founded in June 1939, became the core of the Navy of
the Reorganized National Government in 1940.
The Water Patrol Force
Ensign is known only from a couple of black-and-white photographs. The colours
on the flag image derive from my hypothesis that the Water Patrol Force found it
expedient to modify several flags of the Manchukuo
Navy Minister.
