  • CY Leung says people can contact him to report "yellow shops" that have violated any laws and regulations.

    CY Leung says people can contact him to report "yellow shops" that have violated any laws and regulations.

Former Chief Executive CY Leung on Sunday stepped up the rhetoric against opposition forces, urging people to report the so-called "yellow businesses" that support the anti-government protests for suspected violations of laws and regulations.

In a social media post, Leung, who is now a vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, criticised anti-government protesters for damaging a large number of shops during the protests, such as restaurants under the Maxim's group.

He said he's against the use of violence to retaliate, but that people could report to relevant government departments, pro-government lawmakers or Leung himself if they found any of the "yellow businesses" to have violated any buildings, fire services or hygiene regulations, such as suspected illegal structures and dripping air-conditioners.

Beijing’s liaison office on Saturday criticised opposition lawmakers, saying some of them had disregarded free-market principles to promote the so-called “yellow economy”.
