HK Police Arrests Pro-democracy Restaurant Owner for Distributing “Not Made in China” Masks

In early September, HK police raided a pro-democracy restaurant Favilla and arrested a 31-year-old female owner for distributing masks that were labelled “Not made in China” provided by Demosisto.

The Customs & Excise Department (C&ED) claimed “the trader had failed to provide authentication after repeated demands during the customs investigation to prove that the masks comply with the claims in the label. Arrests were made accordingly for suspected violation of the Trade Description Ordinance.”

In May 2020, 2 members of the now-disbanded pro-democracy group Demosisto were also arrested for alleged violations of trade description laws over these “Not Made in China” masks.

The C&ED claimed that the “Not Made in China” label should not be placed if the products were manufactured in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan or mainland China.
