Courier security keeps drugs out of parcels in Guangzhou

After receiving a parcel, courier Wang Xiangjun would spend less than a minute verifying ID cards of customers, checking the items inside the parcel and uploading information to a system connected to local police authorities.

Wang's store, which has been open for three years, is located in an area inhabited by a large number of migrant workers in the Baiyun district of Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong province. On the walls of the store, there are anti-drug slogans, pictures and signs telling people to register real-name information and to open parcels for checks.

It is a routine process repeated every day in thousands of logistic stores in the district, and Wang is among 38,000 local couriers who are anti-drug volunteers.
