International Settlement of Kulangsu (Gulangyu) at Amoy (Xiamen) was
established in 1903 and abolished in 1943. It was governed by a Municipal
council. I assume the Kulangsu International Settlement Municipal Council had a
flag like the Shanghai International Community
did. I know there was a police badge and that a municipal seal was authorized.
From
http://www.historic-shanghai.com/gulangyu-the-story-of-chinas-other-international-settlement:
"The International Settlement was established in 1903 and governed by the 13
countries of the Gulangyu Municipal Council, .... By 1938, Japan’s designs on
Amoy (and China) had culminated in the Japanese occupation of Xiamen; Gulangyu
remained an International Settlement until its occupation in 1942.
Extraterritorial privileges officially ended in 1943 with treaties signed by
Chiang kai-shek, but the Japanese occupation, lasted until 1945,"
