Security measures upgraded as city bids to stage safest possible event

Ensuring a safe and successful Universiade Shenzhen 2011 is the most important task facing the event's organizing committee, according to Liang Daoxing, director general of the executive office of the organizing committee for the Universiade Shenzhen 2011.

He said: "The public security bureau of Shenzhen has done a great deal to ensure publicity in the run-up to the Universiade."

The committee has learned a number of lessons from the successful security protocols put in place for the duration of the Beijing Olympic Games in August 2008.
