Fight against drugs cannot be won single-handedly

Drugs corrupt individuals and ruin families. Drug-related crimes, particularly those involving violence, harm society.

Thanks in part to the nation's humiliating memories of what opium inflicted upon it, the government's vigilance against drugs and drug-related crimes never ceases.

Public security departments have redoubled their inputs into their anti-drug efforts, especially since drug-related crimes have surged along with cross-border exchanges of people and goods, and more recently increasing access to the internet. And there have been sizable seizures of both drugs and drug traffickers.
