Pens, lipsticks banned at Hong Kong 20th anniversary event
The guests invited to the event marking the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover from British to Chinese rule were banned from bringing pens, contraceptives, and lipsticks, among other things. The military said that the objects had been banned to ensure security. However, the guests were handed goody bags containing camouflage hats, flags, water, biscuits, and buns.
