Beijing - A hijacker armed with explosives took a group of Australian tourists and a translator hostage in China on Wednesday before police shot and killed him, Chinese and Australian media reported.
Initially 10 Australians were taken hostage on a tourist bus in the city of Xi'an in northwest China but nine were released, Australia's national AAP news agency reported.

It said Chinese police then intervened and secured the release of the tenth Australian, a 48-year-old woman from New South Wales.

China's state Xinhua news agency said Chinese police shot and killed the hostage-taker after negotiations failed.

They seem to put a high value on the lives of their tourists.

Ater the tenth victim was released, they shot and killed the hijacker?

We need Chinese police.

Swift justice.

As politicians they look at the bigger picture. The death of a criminal regardless of his intentions will have much less an impact than the slow-down of Australian tourists.

I quite like the Chinese justice system at times.
