Jonathan Hoefler, who drew the logo, said the lines are a reference to the stripes on the American flag. The claim,  which seems to be referring to China's "Three Red Banners" campaign,  appeared in  a post  (archived  here ) on Facebook on October 20, 2020, and showed an image of the Biden-Harris campaign logo. The post said: A friend said look up what 3 red banners stand for, so I did. Simple Google search ( 3 red banners).
