Local Hong Kong shoppers were not extended the same courtesy.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwd.com\/fashion-news\/fashion-scoops\/hong-kong-retailer-pokes-fun-at-dg-photo-fracas-5534220?module=today\">WWD<\/a>, G.O.D. co-founder and chief executive Douglas Young said of the demonstrations, &#8220;That represents a turning point in psyche of young people,\u201d he said. \u201cThe message that they are sending out, that money is not everything \u2014 that represents a turning point in Hong Kong for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact is, in China, they have not reached that stage. So if it really was the case that these security guards treated Chinese people as more important than Hong Kong people because they have more money, that is really insulting to us,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Italian fashion label have issued an official apology, many locals in Hong Kong have doubted their sincerity and have taken to Facebook, Twitter and various blogs to voice their dissatisfaction. <\/p>\n<p>More protests outside the Dolce &#038;
