China’s Supreme People’s Court issued a report yesterday with a review of the country’s progress in its domestic war on drugs over the last five years. China Daily reported that the courts found “a continuous decline of drug-related criminal cases since 2015, indicating that such offenses have been effectively controlled under the country’s intensified fight against drugs and harsh punishment for those found with drug.… Last year, Chinese courts concluded 56,000 drug-related criminal cases, down almost 60% compared with that in 2015. In that year, the number of such cases was 139,000, reaching a record high.”
