New ganbei ban yet to nab cases

Enforcement of a new law trying to put the cork in the country's drinking culture has so far come up dry.

One week into the ban on forced drinking by officials in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, the main body charged with overseeing the decree's enforcement has yet to report any case of alcohol-related wrongdoing, according to an official who drafted the ban.

Song Xiaolin, an office director at Kunming's Discipline Inspection Commission, said it is a sign of the support the new law has gained.
