People live in Guangzhou, the capital city of South China’s Guangdong province will suffer a crackdown of cutting tools for two months.

This news was reported by China Daily on last Saturday. There will be a big sports meeting, the Asian Games in Guangzhou which is scheduled to start on Nov 12. It was said in consideration of security control, the government decided to clamp the sales of knives down during the whole process of the sports meeting. According to the administration’s notice, only kitchen knives and large-sized cutting tools can be available for people, furthermore, they have to buy them in designated shops, under surveillance of cameras and infrared security systems. All of the buyers who want to buy knives should first have authorized proofs, and then they will be registered in police records.

The report finally said residents expressed their understood about this policy, they agreed with the new policy. “The clampdown on sharp tools will not affect their daily life”, the report said. And they quoted from an ordinary civilian

Do you find this policy is stupid and full of flaws? This is another stupid policy of China government again besides dozens of governance lack of wisdom. If a clampdown of knives can prevent criminals and violence effectively? This solution is so insane that it make me laugh. Weapons can be formed from any kind of things as long as there is a need. They should abandon every hard thing and even should make stone, water, wall, vehicles, anything far away from human beings, then the people will be “safe”. For years, the China’s government is losing its mind, more and more crazy, insane and stupid measures are being done by them. The only thing they know is forbidden everything.

Only a fool would believe this policy would make people safer.
