BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhua) — China’s National Immigration Administration (NIA) on Thursday announced a decisive crackdown on illegal drug trafficking, reporting that it had seized 2.42 tons of narcotics in operations in border areas and at border crossings in the country in the first half of this year.
According to the State Border Service, as of June 25, immigration services across the country have solved 205 drug-related cases at border areas and checkpoints this year, resulting in the arrest of 242 suspects.
Of these cases, 38 were major, each involving batches of prohibited substances weighing more than 10 kg.
This result was made possible by intensifying efforts to combat cross-border drug trafficking and introducing innovative police methods, the department reported.
Key strategies include increased border screening and interdiction, comprehensive interdiction measures targeting entire drug trafficking chains, and greater use of big data.
Immigration authorities across the country should maintain a strong suppression and resolute fight against drug crimes in border areas and checkpoints, conduct in-depth studies of drug trafficking routes and crime methods, and expand practical cooperation with neighboring countries in law enforcement, the department said. -0-
