| Abstract | The development of new protection such as bullet-proof vest has become necessary because of China's rising crime rate and the increasing use of firearms as part both of smuggling and social offences. Although China led the armies of the ancient world with leather vests inlaid with metal as protection against swords and spears, the country has lagged in the development of modern bullet-proof vests and other garments. |
