Shenzhen will become the first city in China to expand the legal definition of civic heroism to include acts such as stopping online fraud, exposing staged traffic accident scams, and intervening in school bullying, according to a revised regulation taking effect Dec. 1. Passed recently by the city’s legislative body, the overhaul updates an ordinance originally enacted in 1997. Officials said the revision, the first in nearly 30 years, reflects the evolving nature of bravery in a modern society, moving beyond traditional physical rescues or the prevention of violent crimes
