LHASA, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) — Authorities in Shigatse City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, announced Sunday that they have set up an investigation team to look into the recent fireworks show that has attracted the attention of internet users.
Local authorities are attaching great importance to the issue after a video of a fireworks show titled "Rising Dragon" was posted online on Friday, the statement said.
The display, staged Friday evening in Jiangzi County, Shigatse, a Himalayan city located at an altitude of about 5,500 meters, was part of a collaboration between outdoor brand Arc'teryx, which sponsored the pyrotechnic display, and fireworks designer Cai Guo-qiang, sparking a wave of online controversy over environmental concerns.
The statement said an investigative team was immediately dispatched to the show venue for an investigation, based on the results of which further action will be taken in accordance with laws and regulations.
On Sunday, Arc'teryx posted an apology on its official Weibo account. Cai Guo-Qiang's studio also apologized for staging the pyrotechnic display. -0-
