Chengdu offers reward for tips on terrorism

Chengdu will offer a reward of up to 500,000 yuan ($80,000) to people who report and provide clues on terrorist activities and violent crimes, according to a notice issued on Monday by Chengdu Public Security Bureau.

The city put forward the policy after Beijing, the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Liaoning province, and Nanning, capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, adopted similar policies, as part of an effort to combat violence and terrorism.

According to the notice, the size of the reward will depend on the practical effect of the clue.
