In this Friday, February 5, 2016 photo, a Chinese paramilitary policeman rides past a poster showing an image of masked teddy bear holding firecrackers with the words “A roll of firecracker carries off how many fresh air?” on display near the foreign embassies area in Beijing. Much of China’s population can expect sub-standard sleep after the country starts ringing in the Year of the Monkey. The rat-a-tat snaps of firecrackers, whistling rockets and mortar-like fireworks with possibly enough gunpowder to down a small aircraft will make sure of that. Authorities in Beijing now seem set on the current policy of allowing 24-hour fireworks on New Years Eve and New Years Day and 18-hour windows every day for the following two weeks. But bursts of firework-related mayhem in recent years have prompted officials and media commentators to call for tighter restrictions. (Photo by Andy Wong/AP Photo)
