FYI, there is at least one bit of false/inaccurate information on the banner. The bit about universal right to vote is referencing a database that considers Chinese people as having the right to vote since the late 1940s. While there is some voting that occurs in China at the local level with candidates that have to be pre-approved by the ruling party, it strikes as pretty inaccurate to claim full adult suffrage for China. It appears to references a dataset from this research paper, and I’m not sure why that dataset has this miscategorization.
(sorry to be nitpicky. I don’t want people to read that almost everyone in the world lives in a democracy when in reality about 20% of people don’t)
The banner looks lovely. Great work.
