Hong Kong officially implemented its "infant milk powder quota order" on Friday, a policy that restricts people to taking two tins of milk powder (about 1.8 kilograms) with them outside the region. Anyone who violates this regulation faces 500,000 yuan in fines or a two-year prison term. During the first day of its implementation, 10 people were found illegally carrying milk powder by Hong Kong customs authorities. A number of Hong Kong natives and two mainlanders were involved, carrying a total of 53 tins of milk powder. During the two sessions, the quality of domestic infant milk powder has also triggered heated debate. What do you think of the new regulation?

@Pan Shiyi: When mainland babies are starving, Hong Kong compatriots, who are shipping a batch of milk powder to us, should do the right thing. It's ridiculous to introduce an order like this, which sentences people to a two-year term. The legislative authorities should reconsider and revise it.

@People's Daily: Restrictions on purchasing milk powder bring shame on China's dairy industry. The world's second largest economy thrives in aerospace and navigation, but can't reassure Chinese moms of its own milk powder. Domestic food safety is compromised. Regulators should take responsibility.

@Wang Zhi'an: China's dairy industry experienced a large-scale rectification after the melamine incident in 2008. There isn't much difference between local milk powder and imported powder. The spike in purchases of foreign milk powder is a result of the combined effect of the one child policy and a rise in incomes. Children are now more precious than ever. It's much harder to restore customer confidence than it is to improve quality in the food industry.

@Liu Chun: The two tins quota order has created an uproar in China. Why can't China solve the problem by itself? "Concentrate resources into doing big things." That's our advantage. Now it's time to concentrate on a not-so-big thing, like infant milk powder.

@Guangzhou Daily: Rolex purchases are allowed, but not milk powder. Hong Kong tycoon Timothy Fok said that there are deeper problems involved in prohibiting milk powder purchases. "Hong Kong residents are disturbed by this issue," he said, and mainland buyers come to Hong Kong not only because of the price but also because of their trust and confidence in the inspection system here.

@Kai-Fu Lee: Since there are restrictions on milk powder purchases in Hong Kong, try Taiwan instead! Taiwan's health department has stated that there is no milk powder shortage because of mainland purchases. Demand and supply are still balanced, and they will respect the free market system, so no restrictions will be imposed.
