According Zhongxinshe (China News Agency) on July 28, 2008 , the Chinese government is taking serious measures to prepare for any type of terrorist attacks, including suiside attacks and even attacks of chemical and biological weapons during Beijing Olympics.
For the first time in Chinese history, several tens of thousand of civilian and military hospitals have received an operational manual for treatment of injuries from chemical and biological weapons last Sunday.
Air control has been tightened for the anti-terrorist purpose.
Last week, there was report from a US website dedicated to terrorism that a Xinjiang separatist and terrorist organization has claimed responsibilities for several deadly accidents in China's Yunnan province and elsewhere. Undoubtedly, terrorist threats are real to this country in this globalized world.
It has also been reported that the US government has sent security officers to collaborate with their Chinese counterparts in anti-terrorist actions. Security equipments which have been banned to be sold to China have been delivered too.
While nobody believes such an attack by chemical and biological weapons will even take place during the Beijing Olympics, China has learned the lesson from world wide terrorist attacks esp. those launched against the USA following the Sep. 11 2001 to prepare for the worst only to ensure absolute safety on this occasion.
