Shanghai set to increase security in metro system

Shanghai will ramp up security and tighten safety checks in the city's metro system, and anyone who refuses to undergo a security check or creates a public disturbance may face criminal detention.

Shanghai public security authorities recently made it clear that refusing security checks at the city's metro network or disturbing public order is a crime, and violators will be punished according to the public management law.

In the past, only those who carried forbidden objects on the subway were punished.
