Hong Kong Commercial Daily

Any Hong Kong specialists or experts involved in the fireworks plan? Because Hong Kong has some display for fireworks and Hong Kong is also a co-host city. Any graphics of equestrian?

Cai Guoqiang

Unfortunately, no graphics of equestrian. Maybe we can create equestrian graphics in the sky in Hong Kong so that Hong Kong and Beijing can echo each other. Very good idea. Specialists and experts in Hong Kong are not involved. Our team mainly is composed of people from mainland China, from Jiangxi manufactures and Hubei.

In terms of all the potentially exclusive fireworks we are going to have for the opening ceremony, what specific security measures are you taking in terms of protecting the fireworks in all the different areas?

Deng Shaohui

I will take this question. For the safety of the fireworks, it is not only for the on site stadium. Our efforts, generally speaking, from the very beginning, including the production and delivery and final installation, we have all the safety measures in place. The on site safety, firstly, depending on the quality of the product, therefore, the Beijing municipal quality supervision authorities have developed a special regulation and standards, which is higher for the firework products. For example, the dumb shell rate, according to national it is 2%. However, for Olympics, it is much lower. So we can ensure the safety of the firework display. For the release safety and security, it is to do with the equipment and facilities.

On top of the Bird's Nest, we have very special design. As you know, it is steel structure on the top of the Bird's Nest. Normally, we have developed special gadget to secure the release equipment with the top of the Bird's Nest to ensure safety and security. The utilization of the special gadget will ensure there will be no damage for the membrane structure. For the ground level, the dragon-shaped landscape water system, along Hujing East Road, we have the firework site in place. During the installation of the testing stage, the security authorities developed very practical measures for the whole installation, it was conducted and supervised by the quality control authorities of the city to ensure the equipment will be 100 % safe for operation.
