Chinese police will increase armed patrols, especially in densely populated areas like urban centers and transport hubs, in a drive to crack down on violent crime, state news agency Xinhua reported on Sunday. China's stability obsessed ruling Communist Party, always jittery about any threats to its rule, has been alarmed by a series of incidents in recent months, including a knife attack at a train station in the city of Kunming blamed on militants from the far western region of Xinjiang this month. "The ministry (of public security) said that it will carry out armed patrols and take timely measures to handle violent criminals," Xinhua said. "The ministry urged public security organs at all levels to increase work efficiency and further improve the emergency command mechanism in order to fight crime," it added.
