No, improving people's safety awareness is the key. See All Voter(s) Note: Guest voter(s) are not displayed here. On the New Year’s Eve, the Dynasty Wanxin Hotel in Shenyang was on fire. Luckily, all the 50 people inside the hotel were evacuated and no casualties were found. According to the police, the fire was probably triggered by the fireworks. Setting off the fireworks during the festivals (especially during the Spring Festival) is one of the oldest traditions that have been observed by Chinese people for hundreds of years. But can we ban the fireworks considering of the safety?

Then the regulation was abolished in 2006. The Spring Festival is the most important festival. It will be boring if people can not set off fireworks during the festival. Like Jimmyb said, improving people’s safety awareness is the key.

I agree with Attabutt,, fireworks have been a cultural tradition over the centuries in China..why stop now because of a few accidents. I vote no also. Sometimes accidents happen no matter what the situation may be,,, so if we ban fireworks because of safety issues then cars trains airplanes and everything else that we encounter in life should be banned also. banning fireworks will not change all the other dangers in life. Accidents happen.

GUEST6517	There are a lot of Chinese people who do not dare to die. You know what? There is a petrol station not far from my apartment. I saw some "brave" Chinese people setting off fireworks beside the petrol station. What if the petrol station explodes? They didn't care about it. Setting off the fireworks and having much fun was what they cared about.

A man is now in prison, and will be for the rest of his life; he was held responsible for the burning down of the new CCTV building a couple of years ago; but somebody needed to pay.

I watched people set off fireworks during the festivities.
Most of the apartments in Beijing are high-rise; averaging 25 stories, and some only 10 to 15 meters apart.
I watched as the rockets sprayed their bursts of colour against the windows and walls of these buildings hoping that no one had left a window open.
I watched as people lay firecrackers across the roads as cars continued to drive over them, praying that these cars fuel tanks had no leaks.
I watched as parents gave their young children a match or a lighter and encouraged them to light their very own display.
What I watched was complete madness in the name of culture, of which most have lost the meaning of.

GUESTIAMJUSTIN	My vote also goes for the oppose against the proposal to ban.Chinese traditions have sufferes overwhelming damages over the past decades,we cannot weaken it anymore.Safty awareness promotion is a great way to creat a society with security and it is more beneficial for the social progress in the long run.
