The Whole Country is Red is a Chinese postage stamp, issued on 24 November 1968, which contained a design
error. The stamp featured a map of China with the words "The Whole Country is Red" with a worker, farmer, and
soldier standing below with copies of quotations from Chairman Mao. The face value of the stamp is 8 fen.
Taiwan was not shaded red as at the time of printing, it was (and remains so today) under the control of the
Republic of China instead of the PRC. The official reason given for the withdrawal of the stamp was that the Spratly
and Paracel Islands were missing from the map, as well as the borders with Mongolia, Bhutan, and Myanmar being
incorrectly drawn. The stamp had been distributed for less than half a day when an editor at SinoMaps Press
noticed the mistake and reported it to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. As a result, all Chinese
post offices had to stop selling the stamp and return all copies, with only a small quantity making it to private
collectors.The designer of the stamp, Wang Weisheng, said in an AFP interview, "For a long tie I was really worried
that I would be jailed".
