In a quirky move, the Hong Kong Security Bureau introduced a new mascot in the form of a bear tasked with setting up an official account on Douyin, China’s popular video-sharing platform. The security minister, Chris Tang Ping-keung, along with his aides, showcased their acting skills in a humorous short film titled “Battle of Douyin.” The video quickly gained traction, attracting over 71,000 fans and 163,000 likes within a day of its launch.
In the video, Tang emphasizes the importance of using extraordinary methods in extraordinary times, prompting his team to enlist the help of the Security Bear for the unique task. The Security Bear, donning a blue windbreaker with the city’s emblem, plays a pivotal role in opening the bureau’s official Douyin account.
This initiative marks the bureau’s eighth social media account, further expanding its presence online. Tang himself is active on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Weibo. For more updates on this amusing campaign, stay tuned for the latest from the Security Bureau.
