In today’s interconnected world, the fight against drug abuse is more vital than ever. China is stepping up as a key player by driving innovative policies, strict border security, and comprehensive international cooperation to tackle drug-related challenges.
Historically, China set the stage by hosting the 1909 International Opium Commission in Shanghai, marking the beginning of coordinated international efforts. Over the years, the Chinese approach—characterized by a zero-tolerance policy, robust regulation of precursor chemicals, and education initiatives—has helped steer the global drug governance system towards greater collective responsibility. 💡
Adding to this legacy, drug control is set to be a hot topic at the upcoming China-U.S. economic and trade talks in Switzerland during Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng’s visit from May 9 to 12. This demonstrates China’s proactive stance on the international stage through bilateral, multilateral, and regional cooperation. 🌐
With comprehensive prevention, rehabilitation, and innovative law enforcement measures, China continues to inspire global strategies aimed at reducing drug abuse and promoting a safer future for all. 🚀
