What actually differs
- Both flags use the same colours — red and yellow — so the difference is in the shades and the shape.
- China carries one large star and four small stars; Vietnam has nothing in the middle.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: red (#EE1C25 against #DA251D).
How to keep them straight
China: One big star, four small ones in an arc to its right, all crowded into the top-left corner.
Vietnam: One big yellow star, dead centre.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of China it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
