Abstract: | In the economic powerhouse of Guangdong, an unprecedented three-month anti-crime drive has stressed education campaigns in schools and the workplace. There have also been public photo exhibitions, drug-burning ceremonies, amnesties for addicts and a stepped-up drug-rehabilitation drive. The sharp end saw 4,800 suspects rounded up by late June with over 300 kgs of narcotics seized. On one day in mid-May, 51 convicts, mostly drug trafficers, were executed in various cities after ritual public denuncinations. In Nanning, capital of neighboring Guangxi, Public Security Bureau (PSB) men rounded up 1, 245 offenders on a single night and busted 24 prostitution joints, seizing weapons and drugs. |
