"When a lot of people stop to watch, the risk of stampedes increases," Liang said.
Passengers should avoid forming flash mobs, the article quoted Liang as saying.
"Although such behavior is not banned by law, passengers should not be too wilful," Liang said.
Police will warn against "problematic behavior" when they come across it, Liang said.

Microaggressions in Red China.
Whoda thunk?
Microagressions? Try macroagressions. One after the other. Chinese history (unexpurgated) will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
One of the many important realities Schmendrik would call you racist for noticing. It's why our elites are always surprised by international, er...developments.
