As far as I've read (I think on HN), Chinese surveillance systems can identify people very well even when wearing masks. I've personally been able to distinguish various acquaintances with their faces covered in various contexts (e.g. on the street). As long as I can do this as a human, there's no reason to believe that face recognition will have problems with this.
