中国首次对外发布品形势报告

China’s Ministry of Public Security has published its first report on the country’s drug use, trafficking and production, marking wider official acknowledgment of the illicit trade. The report stated that at the end of 2014, China had 14 million drug users, 49,000 of whom died as a result of drugs in the last year alone. Furthermore, it blamed drug use for recent losses of 500 billion yuan per year. The report was released on June 24, just before the UN’s International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on June 26, a date that pays homage to efforts by Lin Zexu, a Qing dynasty official, to stop Britain’s opium trade in Guangdong in 1839. Liu Yuejin, an assistant minister of public security, said methamphetamine pills and heroin in China originate in Southeast Asia, while most crystal meth and ketamine in the country comes from the Middle East. He also mentioned that criminals are producing synthetic drugs that the government remains unaware of. According to Du Xinzhong, who’s website is dedicated to fighting drug abuse, Chinese laws only address 14 of the 388 psycho-addictive substances listed by the UN. Gao Guiju, a senior criminal court judge, said that last year Chinese courts tried over 100,000 cases involving drugs, compared to some 38, 000 in 2007, and that the Supreme People’s Court, China’s top court, needs to cooperate more with prosecutors and police in order to properly handle China’s growing drug problem. Tang Jianbin, a lawyer from Beijing Lincoln & Water Bang Law Firm, echoed this, saying that police often don’t calculate the weight of drugs, and in some cases do not even identify the drug accurately, resulting in lighter sentencing for criminals.
