They absolutely should have put their hands over their hearts. Saluting would have been disrespectful as well, but they absolutely should have placed their hands over their hearts to show reverence.

No they shouldn't have? Why would they participate in weird American flag fucking rituals? It's bad enough when people in México try to import that shit.

yeah this is so weird, let`s do what the American shit but it is ok if the flag is Red and Yellow.

This stuff is getting into Chinese social discourse too

I thought it was more places than just the US, I didn't realize it was just American.

I have never heard of it. Hand over heart I think is American. Civilian leader in formal clothing should not salute only stand.

I thought hand over heart was most places, not just the US. That's fine in that case.
