2014年「亞太經合組織」第22次領導人非正式會議，正在北京舉行，由於中共高層內鬥激烈，大陸政治局勢緊張，北京戒備空前。
據大陸媒體8月13號報導，8月1號開始，北京警方將進京檢查站的防控等級升為最高等級，22個檢查站實行24小時輪流換崗制，不間斷對進京車輛人員檢查。檢查站內，警力由原來的6人增加到10人，期間有2名持槍武警站崗。
據報導，站崗武警配備裝有實彈的95式自動步槍，身上還有2枚爆裂彈。
據了解，這種子彈在命中目標後，會產生震動、爆炸，殺傷力大於普通子彈。據說1989年「六四天安門屠城」期間，入城的中共軍隊曾利用同類的「爆裂彈」，射殺手無寸鐵的學生和平民。

Beijing Arms Police With Lethal Shells
The 22th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
Informal Leadership Meeting of 2014 is held in Beijing.
Beijing is on unprecedented high alert due to the fierce
infighting among the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
leadership and the tense mainland political situation.
According to mainland media reports on August 13, Beijing
police changed the alert level at the Beijing checkpoint to the
highest level with the 24-hour shift guard system checking
the vehicle and people who enter Beijing.
The on-site check station has 10 police instead of the original
6 plus two armed police guard.
It seems the armed guards are equipped with 95 automatic
rifles firing two burst shells.
This shell is more lethal than an ordinary bullet because it
may create shock and explosion after hitting the target.
In the 1989 Tiananmen massacre, the CCP military used the
same type of burst shell to kill unarmed students and civilians.
