| Shenzhen hires kung-fu masters to protect judiciary |
| 2002-11-18 |
| Chinese authorities in Shenzhen, on the border with Hong Kong, have hired kung-fu masters to protect judges and anti-graft officers amid growing threats to their safety. A report in the China-backed Wen Wei Po said the number of newly-recruited police officers working for the Shenzhen prosecution service has risen to more than a dozen from just three in the past year, with the majority specially trained in kung-fu. Jiang Qinghai, head of the police force attached to the Shenzhen Prosecution Service, was quoted by the paper as saying at least two of the newly-recruited legal police officers were national martial arts champions. And you all thought those Jackie Chan movies were fictional. |
