Police in Beijing closed some streets leading to the tallest building in the city's central business district, and a Reuters reporter noted the absence of a glass panel on a raised floor on the side of the building.
The building, known as CITIC Tower or China Zun, is a 108-story skyscraper in eastern Beijing. It houses the headquarters of the state-owned conglomerate CITIC Group and is the tallest building in the Chinese capital.
There is a strong police presence there, with some access roads to the building closed to cars. Police officers were seen preventing people from taking photos and moving pedestrians away from the building.
