Pretty sure. I saw some news article not too long after 9/11. Everybody in the country was buying up US flags, and the supply was getting low. The Chinese flag factory was running 3 shifts and still couldn't meet demand. This was after the EP-3 crisis, but the factory workers seemed pretty happy about the business we were throwing their way. Doesn't surprise me, wouldn't be very cost effective to make them here.
