Security concerns put pla on neighborhood watch

China's rapid urbanization has resulted in problems at bases and disrupted operations across the country, as the armed forces and civilians increasingly find themselves living cheek by jowl, as Zhao Lei reports.

For Fu Jun, deputy commander of a division of the People's Liberation Army air force, the growing number of high-rise buildings around his unit's air base has become a major concern.

"Sometimes a new, tall telecommunications signal transmitter tower will be erected near our airfield overnight," Fu told media briefing recently.
