| Strange sounds, odd smells, garbage out of the ordinary - these are among signs Chinese citizens should watch out for in the country's fight against terrorism. The National Anti-Terrorism Leading Group Office on Tuesday updated its counter-terrorism handbook, which is aimed to help citizens better prepare and defend themselves during terrorist attacks. It urges citizens to be vigilant of odd neighbors, especially tenants who repeatedly make strange sounds, carry unfamiliar objects and throw away garbage out of the ordinary. "Stay calm, do not resist and trust the government" is the first rule to follow if abducted by terrorists. In a scenario when faced with a person who has a knife, the manual suggests to "grab anything that is handy, like your handbag, clothes, umbrella, a chair or a mob to fend against the person, if you can not flee or hide." If there aren't enough people around to form a mob, a mop might serve to fend a knife attack. The handbook has very detailed countermeasures for fire and explosions on buses, subways, trains and other public places like stadiums, hotels and market places. China is witnessing more frequent terrorist attacks while many people still lack life-saving experience and skills, said Li Wei, an anti-terror expert from China Institute of Contemporary International Relations. "The book is a measure to enhance people's anti-terror awareness," said Li. |
