The new uniform, known as the “2011 Pattern Security Uniform”, was designed to make it easier for people to recognize security personnel, said Yang Qi, a senior official.

Yang said that adopting the new uniform is expected to further accelerate the standardisation of the security personnel in the country, reported Xinhua.

In 1984, China’s first security service company was set up in Shenzhen, the country’s first special economic zone, and as of December 2010, the country had a total of 2,966 security service firms.
