Grenville Cross, Hong Kong's former director of public prosecutions, described the anti-mask law as "an important step in the right direction" in deterring people from indulging in wanton criminality on the city's streets.
Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai, former president of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, said that the city has been in the throes of violence for months and is in dire need of an anti-mask law.
I’m Jocelyn from China Daily. I’ve called China home for over a decade. People have often compared Suzhou to its double-sided embroidery, and these days have given me a glimpse into a truly modern side to this city. Through six years of practice and exploration, Suzhou Industrial Park has developed comprehensive services and a unique style of management as it redefines the idea of a new urban community. This Suzhou has captivated me so much that I’m looking forward to tomorrow, when I’ll meet the other half, the traditional one, of this dynamic city.
Allan Zeman, chairman of the Hong Kong-based Lan Kwai Fong Group, supports the introduction of a law banning masks at public assemblies in Hong Kong. Law and order has broken down, and the situation warrants drastic measures, he said. Such a ban will be a viable step to help Hong Kong curb escalating violence.
An advocate group was formed on Thursday to urge the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government to ban face masks in unauthorized rallies in an effort to cool the months-long unrest in Hong Kong.
In 1953, China's first Five-Year Plan called the entire nation to unite and actively participate in the industrialization drive. During Mao Zedong's first trip to the Soviet Union, he visited the Stalin Automobile Factory. Seeing an assembly line of new cars, he said to his entourage: "We need big factories like this one." After that, the Changchun Number One Automobile Factory produced a sedan car - the Dongfeng. Among mountains, on the plains and in the deserts, driven by the burning passion of the times, a new project was started or completed every day. The People's Republic of China developed rapidly and one success quickly followed another. The goals of the First Five-Year Plan were met in 1956, a year ahead of schedule.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) held the Third Plenary Session of its Seventh Central Committee from June 6 to 9, 1950, in Beijing. The meeting mainly discussed economic issues. This was a clear indication that the CPC's focus was shifting from revolution to economic development. After the three major transformation movements, a basic socialist economic system had taken root in China in the 1950s, based on public ownership of the means of production and the principle of distribution according to work done.
