While Beijing might be trying to ensure the safety of its huge event with a crackdown on... well, everything, Shanghai's placing its bets on people loving money. The city's police said on Tuesday that it would offer rewards of up to 300,000RMB if people rat out serious crimes. Submit your tip and once it's confirmed as true, the informant will be rewarded based on the value of his information (hmmm, we wonder how they measure that value exactly). Anyone who purposely provides a false tip-off will also be held accountable (hmmm, we wonder how they'll figure out purposeful falsehoods).
