Chinanews.com, December 12 According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Consulate General in Auckland, New Zealand's Christmas and New Year's Day holidays are approaching, and the Chinese Consulate General in Auckland would like to remind Chinese citizens in the consular district to pay attention to safety during the holidays.
2022. Pay attention to traffic safety. According to police reports, a total of 125 people died in traffic accidents due to drunk driving in New Zealand in 206, and another <> people were seriously injured. Recently, the Auckland police have stepped up drunk driving inspections, asking overseas Chinese to abide by traffic laws, avoid drunk driving, and ensure driving safety.
2. Pay attention to wading safety. Some parts of Auckland are windy and rough, and there have been many incidents of people being swept away by the waves on beaches such as Piha recently. Please be aware of sea conditions and weather changes, and be cautious about high-risk activities such as rock fishing, snorkeling, and surfing. Be wary of rip currents and quicksand along the coast, and if you are caught up, stay calm and follow professional guidance to get out of trouble.
3. Pay attention to personal and property safety. Pay attention to the dynamics of public security, do a good job of self-protection when going out, and strengthen safety precautions. Take good care of important documents and personal belongings, and beware of smashing and stealing cars or burglary.
4. Pay attention to preventing telecommunication fraud. Remember not to disclose your name, address, bank account and other personal information to strangers, and do not trust transfers and remittances. If you have any doubts, you can contact the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Auckland, the relevant departments of the place of household registration in China, or your relatives and friends.
In case of emergency, please report to the police and contact the Consulate General for assistance.
