Drive launched to fight drug problem
A national campaign has been launched on the Chinese mainland to prevent so-called "new types of drugs" from harming people who visit places of entertainment.
The ministry is one of six departments under the central government that have jointly launched the campaign. In recent years, the problem of the selling and usage of these new types of drugs, such as "ice" and ecstasy, is increasingly evident in many entertainment venues, said the statement. Many criminals sell drugs to customers, especially youngsters, in places like disco halls, bars, and other singing and dancing venues. Moreover, many owners of these places try to shelter people who sell or take drugs for the sake of profit, added the statement. Widespread public education activities, including general information publicity and training for entertainment venue staff members, will be carried out to raise people's awareness of drugs. Culture management and public security authorities at various levels will
gradually develop a system which can record the illegal activities going on in
entertainment venues, and give warnings to the operators.
