Summary edit
| Description |
Mao Zedong (毛澤東), a communist, fought alongside Nationalist Chinese forces to repel the Japanese invaders, but once Japan was defeated, the Chinese Civil War resumed. In 1949, Mao drove the Nationalists (Republic of China) into exile in Taiwan, and proclaimed the People's Republic of China (中華人民共和國). Mao is best remembered for his brutal control of the people, especially during the Cultural Revolution, but many Chinese do respect him for establishing a strong singular Chinese state, something that has traditionally been lacking in history. |

Licensing edit
- Object
|
According to Sect 71 of the Copyright Ordinance of Hong Kong, it is not a copyright infringement to make graphic representations, take photographs, or broadcast the images of buildings, sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if the object is permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public. Because Hong Kong was a territory of the United Kingdom until 1997, Hong Kong law is modelled on UK law, and in the absence of any specific case law to the contrary it is reasonable to assume that the rules will be similar.
Similar to the UK law, 'works of artistic craftsmanship' is defined separately from 'graphic work'. The latter includes any painting, drawing, diagram, map, chart or plan, and any engraving, etching, lithograph, woodcut or similar work. Therefore freedom given in Sect 71 does not apply to posters or maps in public places.
