China seizes 8,000 rolls of toilet paper with politician's face

Chinese authorities have seized about 8,000 rolls of toilet paper printed with the image of Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing chief executive Leung Chun-ying, according to the territory’s Democratic Party.

Authorities in southern China have seized about 8,000 rolls of toilet paper and another 20,000 packages of tissues containing unflattering images of Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing chief executive, according to an official of the small political party that placed the order.

The items were to be sold at a market in Hong Kong during Lunar New Year celebrations later this month, said Lo Kin-hei, a vice chairman of the Hong Kong Democratic Party.
