2014年“亚太经合组织”第22次领导人非正式会议，正在北京举行，由于中共高层内斗激烈，大陆政治局势紧张，北京戒备空前。
据大陆媒体8月13号报导，8月1号开始，北京警方将进京检查站的防控等级升为最高等级，22个检查站实行24小时轮流换岗制，不间断对进京车辆人员检查。检查站内，警力由原来的6人增加到10人，期间有2名持枪武警站岗。
据报导，站岗武警配备装有实弹的95式自动步枪，身上还有2枚爆裂弹。
据了解，这种子弹在命中目标后，会产生震动、爆炸，杀伤力大于普通子弹。据说1989年“六四天安门屠城”期间，入城的中共军队曾利用同类的“爆裂弹”，射杀手无寸铁的学生和平民。

Beijing Arms Police With Lethal Shells
The 22th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
Informal Leadership Meeting of 2014 is held in Beijing.
Beijing is on unprecedented high alert due to the fierce
infighting among the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
leadership and the tense mainland political situation.
According to mainland media reports on August 13, Beijing
police changed the alert level at the Beijing checkpoint to the
highest level with the 24-hour shift guard system checking
the vehicle and people who enter Beijing.
The on-site check station has 10 police instead of the original
6 plus two armed police guard.
It seems the armed guards are equipped with 95 automatic
rifles firing two burst shells.
This shell is more lethal than an ordinary bullet because it
may create shock and explosion after hitting the target.
In the 1989 Tiananmen massacre, the CCP military used the
same type of burst shell to kill unarmed students and civilians.

technology, assets evaluation, labor protection,
environmental protection, legal and other aspects.
Over the emission problem, Wang Wenli said, “China has
different standards from the other countries".
He said, “no matter how we renovate and restrict our
emissions, we still can’t reach the standards of other countries."
