REPORTS SAY SEIZURES, DRUG ARRESTS ARE UP
Drug arrests in China rose 15.4 percent in the first half of the year, and
seizures of opium more than doubled, the official news agency said Sunday
on the eve of a major anti-drug meeting with its heroin-producing neighbors.
Chinese police picked up more than 165,000 people in the first half of this
year for drug offenses -- 28,000 of them on suspicion of producing or
trafficking drugs, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
