China has banned the bulk shipment to Hong Kong of black clothing and other gear...
One staff member from STO said that single pieces of black clothing could be sent to Chinese-ruled Hong Kong, but shipments of more than five pieces would be stopped. They were also not allowed to ship masks, bulk orders of umbrellas or sticks.A Hong Kong-based customer service employee at S.F. Holding’s S.F. Express said it had not been informed of the new measures.
SF Express, Yunda Holding and China’s General Administration of Customs, which manages the country’s imports and exports of goods, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The protesters are angry at what they see as Beijing’s tightening grip on Hong Kong, which was guaranteed 50 years of freedoms not extended to the mainland under a “one country, two systems” formula when Britain returned the city to China in 1997.
The shipping restrictions appear to be having little impact on the ground in Hong Kong, however, sales representatives at retailers such as Uniqlo, H&M and Giordano Ladies told Reuters.
