Following U.S. President Trump’s announcement last month that Hong Kong’s special treatment would be cancelled, the U.S. government announced the announcement a few days ago, stating that the origin of goods exported from Hong Kong to the U.S. after September 25 must be marked as "China" and cannot be marked as " Hong Kong". Local designer Yang Zhan believes that this move is attributed to the collapse of Hong Kong’s rule of law, and feels very sad about it. “Made in Hong Kong is a complex. A group of Hong Kong people have worked hard for so long, but they have ended up like this.”

Since June 1997, the United States Customs has stipulated that even after the transfer of sovereignty, Hong Kong can still list the origin of goods as "Hong Kong" to distinguish goods from China. However, after Trump signed the "normalization of Hong Kong" executive order last month, the US Maritime Affairs issued an announcement the day before, stating that from September 25, Hong Kong exports must be listed as "China."

Local fashion designer Yang Zhan established his personal brand Yeung Chin in 2013, focusing on fashion design and installation art. The fabrics used in his brand come from different places, but the design, production and later processes are all carried out in Hong Kong. Yang Zhan said that there are regular American customers for the brand fashion, and he is extremely sad about the sanctions or the obliteration of "Made in Hong Kong". "Generations of Hong Kong people have spent a lot of energy to create "Made in Hong Kong", such as Red A Plastic Factory. But it was obliterated in this way."

Said that foreign customers attach importance to the origin and quality and insist on the production line to stay in Hong Kong

Yang Zhan pointed out that the customers who have contacted have confidence in the Hong Kong manufacturing label, and the quality of Hong Kong manufacturing and Chinese manufacturing is different. If the sources of manufacturing in Hong Kong and China are mixed, it may cause confusion to the guests. He pointed out that in two years he tried to move part of the production line back to the Mainland, but unfortunately he chose to withdraw it to Hong Kong due to poor quality. Earlier, the president of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, Leung Siu-kee, said in an interview with the media that because Hong Kong does not export too many products to the United States, the new measures have little impact. Yang Zhan vigorously refuted: "Foreign guests pay much attention to the origin and quality. Made in Hong Kong is the guarantee of good quality."

He believes that the main reason for Hong Kong’s sanctions was that Hong Kong could not enjoy sufficient autonomy, which made local manufacturers bear the results in disguise. However, he said that he would insist on keeping the production lines in Hong Kong. "We always have a small number and Hong Kong has good manpower. supplier."

The SAR government issued a press release the day before yesterday (11th) regarding the US’s new regulations on Hong Kong goods, expressing its strong opposition to the content of the notice and stating that the relevant regulations may not comply with WTO regulations, nor will they help protect the interests of consumers, and will cause confusion. Damage to all aspects, including the interests of the United States itself. The press release also stated that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region enjoys the unique status of a separate customs territory under "one country, two systems", which is granted in accordance with the country’s Constitution and the Basic Law, and recognized by multilateral organizations such as the WTO. It is not granted or revoked by individual countries. . The SAR government is now clarifying and clarifying the important specific implementation details of the new regulations from the US authorities through the Washington Economic and Trade Office to determine further actions. The SAR government also stated that it will maintain communication with the industry and provide explanations to carefully study whether the US measures violate WTO rules. If necessary, it will not rule out taking actions in accordance with WTO rules to safeguard Hong Kong’s interests.
