China unlocks door to foreign security firms

Beijing police ran a media event at Wangfujing on Tuesday to highlight a significant change in the security industry that allows foreign firms to get into the market.

The "Security Service Management Regulation", which went into effect on Jan 1, no longer forbids foreign security firms from providing services in China.

A public security bureau promoted the new policy in front of the Wangfujing Department Store, according to the Beijing Youth Daily yesterday.
