China's flag's color was chosen for many reasons. In ancient China, yellow was the emperor's color and red was the color to scare the evil spirits. When Mao took over China, he chose red as the background because it was powerful color and the Soviet's flag also had red as the background. Mao chose 5 yellow stars because yellow was the color in Soviet's flag and it was the emperor's color. The 5 stars represent the jobs in China. China's flag looks similar to USSR's flag.
