Are those kinds of balconies common in China? Just looking at them makes me nervous.

It looks to me those balconies extend way too far out. I also feel like the angled supports on the sides don't extend far enough. I'd be more comfortable if there were supporting vertical posts on the two outer corners of these oversized balconies.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but these balconies look like a catastrophe waiting to happen.

should be okay, I am sure there will load limitation on the balcony

China now is the most advanced Civil engineering country ... this one is nothing at all

ISLAMABAD, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his deep shock and sorrow on Monday over the attack on a Chinese national convoy in the country's southern port city of Karachi on Sunday night, which resulted in the deaths of two Chinese citizens and left another injured.

In an official statement, the prime minister strongly condemned the "heinous act" and offered his "heartfelt condolences" to the people of China, especially the families of the victims.

"I am deeply shocked and saddened by last night's tragic incident in Karachi, resulting in the loss of two precious Chinese lives and injuring another," said the prime minister, praying for the quick recovery of the injured.

Sharif assured that an immediate investigation is underway to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

The prime minister also reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to protecting Chinese nationals in the country, pledging that every possible measure would be taken to ensure their safety.

"Pakistan stands committed to safeguarding our Chinese friends. We will leave no stone unturned to ensure their security and well-being," he added.

Earlier on Monday morning, the Chinese embassy in Pakistan said that the attack happened at about 11:00 p.m. local time on Sunday (1800 GMT) when a convoy from the Port Qasim Electric Power Company was attacked by terrorists near Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.

Zhang Fusheng, former deputy head of the fire and rescue administration at China's Ministry of Emergency Management, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for bribery, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court in Fujian province announced on Wednesday. He was also fined 3 million yuan ($424,500).

The court ordered the confiscation of Zhang's illegally obtained assets and their proceeds, which will be turned over to the state treasury.

Between 1997 and 2022, Zhang used his various positions in the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Emergency Management to offer favors, including assistance with project contracts, job promotions, and work transfers. In exchange, he accepted bribes amounting to more than 38.93 million yuan.

The court found Zhang guilty of accepting bribes of "especially large amounts." However, leniency was granted because he voluntarily confessed to most of his crimes, cooperated with authorities by disclosing previously unknown facts, pleaded guilty, and returned the illicit funds.

Zhang, 62, a native of Liaoning province, began his career in 1980 and joined the Communist Party of China in 1982. He became deputy head of the fire and rescue administration in November 2019. He was placed under investigation in November 2022, expelled from the Party and removed from public office in June 2023. Zhang was formally arrested the following month.

Fuzhou prosecutors filed charges against him in October 2023. He pleaded guilty during his trial, which took place in April this year.

China has blocked or removed more than 4.3 million pieces of harmful content involving minors as part of a three-month campaign aimed at safeguarding children's rights online, according to the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).

The campaign, launched in mid-July, also resulted in the punishment of over 130,000 illegal internet accounts and the shutdown of more than 2,000 websites and online platforms, the CAC announced Wednesday.

The initiative primarily targets online spaces popular with younger users, including livestreaming platforms, short video apps, and e-commerce sites. During the operation, cyberspace regulators penalized more than 21,000 accounts and shut down over 32,000 livestreams found to be disseminating harmful content to young viewers.

In some cases, livestreamers added violent content to cartoons or manipulated children to appear as "sexy girls" in a bid to attract more views, the CAC said. Additionally, accounts involved in bullying juveniles or disclosing their names, schools, and other personal information faced severe consequences.

The campaign also focused on combatting the exploitation of children online, including cases where individuals used the internet to lure minors into taking nude photos or videos or molested them. These efforts were aimed at protecting the physical and mental well-being of minors.

Over 42,000 products promoting superstition or encouraging conflicts between children, families, and schools were removed from online platforms, while more than 1,400 online stores were closed or fined.

The CAC emphasized that it will continue to hold websites and platforms accountable for protecting minors in cyberspace and encouraged the public to report harmful content.
