This guy's face is plastered all over the city and province:
He's wanted for multiple murder-robberies. Scott went to Nanjing the week before the holiday and said vehicles at outbound tollbooths were lined up for vast stretches while officials checked each car, truck, and bus.
From China Daily, the Party's English mouthpiece:
I thought it was a missing person's notice at first, and was like, 'Dude, really? You don't have better photos of your family member?' I started to clue in to the fact that something else was going on when I read that the man's height and weight are only given in approximates.

NANJING
- Police in an east China city Thursday doubled the reward for providing
clues about the man behind a high-profile armed robbery who is also suspected
to have committed a series of murders and robberies in other cities over the
past seven years.
Police in Nanjing, capital of
Jiangsu province, are offering 200,000 yuan ($31,700) for information that
leads to the arrest of the person who gunned down a man in front of a bank in
a busy street last Friday and fled with 200,000 yuan that the victim had just
withdrawn from the bank, the city's police said.
Thousands of police have been
mobilized to conduct a "blanket" manhunt in Jiangsu, they added.
The suspect, reportedly a former
armed police officer in his 40s, is believed to have used a gun to kill six
people and injure another two in six robberies that took place in Changsha,
the capital of Hunan province, and Chongqing municipality since 2004.
Civilians in China are banned from
possessing firearms and the case has shocked the public as the suspected
serial killer appears to have easily dodged police hunts and repeatedly
broken the law over the past seven years.
More theft and robbery cases are
usually reported before the Chinese New Year, as people are making more bank
transactions and migrants to the cities are carting their money back home for
Spring Festival.
The festival, or Chinese New Year,
the first day on lunar calendar, falls on January 23 this year.
Police in Changsha also have
raised security levels and conducted checks on hotels, Internet bars,
entertainment venues, and rented houses throughout the city.
