Is Beijing really safe?

After the deaths of the 17 policemen in North West China, and threats from the Islamic extremists, do you think that China's Army is capable of stopping any attacks on the Beijing Olympics?

If any country can, it's China. I have to tell you, the police presence here in Beijing is overwhelming, and as it has gotten closer to the games it appears to be getting even stronger. There are a few lapses in their security, just due to the ways that they do things in China. (it's hard to explain, but there is just a Chinese way of doing things that is sometimes really odd). But, The government also has roadblocks on all the streets leading into Beijing, and is strictly controlling who gets in. I went to Tiananmen last Saturday to watch some fireworks they were setting off and the amount of police and army personnel they have there is staggering.

But on top of the police, there is also the ordinary citizenry. Down to the people living in run down hutongs, every Chinese I have met is extremely proud of the games and wants to do what they can do to help make sure they go smoothly. They always pay attention to what people are doing, especially foreigners, but this year they seem to be exceptionally diligent. So you even have to count the regular people as part of the security apparatus.

I think there could be more attacks in other areas, but it will be to hard for there to be attacks in Beijing, although we could see some protests. Protests are more likely to be a problem in Beijing than attacks.
參考: Just watching the developments here for the past couple of months.

China is not used to having freedom like we have in the US. They can step up security all they want and not have to worry about infringing on people's rights. For example, we whine and complain about the Patriot Act because the government can spy on us. Their government is not only spying on everyone, they are controlling everyone. In a police state, I guarantee the security will be tight.

And as for Islamic Extremists, any highly publicized world stage is a target. They want the world to hear them and they might try, but I bet the Chinese will be able to foil plots before they occur.

I have been to Beijing, and I felt very safe there in general.

well, even the US, as the claimed themselves to be the most powerful country in the world, was attacked by terrorists, what do you expect? but since the Chinese government is very cautious about terrorism in the Olympics, i suppose Beijing should be safe from terrorists' attacks.

i ought to believe Juliee, i've got visited China many situations and the folk there are accepting of all cultures. the only element that shadows me right here is the chinese language protection, and because they mentioned it would be maximum on the stadium and landmarks. to boot the factor, it quite is against the regulation, not against the regulation against races. it is not chinese language vs. individuals, it quite is a few mad criminal vs. some harmless individual on the streets. i ask your self why everytime a individual of yet another race is killed right here the media would not accuse of people and their united states of not being secure.

Not safe. These suicide bombers will defintely kill as many as possible soon. They care nothing for security or people. Look at israel highest security in world but cannot stop the crazy Hamas muder gangs killing children in their cities.
