In some capitalistic countries its meaning is degraded on account of some political reason, so the western politician may be alert to “red”. The positive use of “red” in English is very limited, the red color is not always connected with something cheerful, instead, it is often used in nagative sense. Some Westerners take “red” as a symbol of evil or danger, origining from the spirits of bullfighters. So the red rag or flag that bullfighters use to provoke the bull is regarded as annoying. Moreover, red has some extensional meanings, such as cruelty,blood,disaster, etc. In English we can find such expressions that stand for radicalness and violence like “the red revolution”, “the red activities”, etc.
