A top narcotics enforcement official in China says the country's drug problem is growing, especially among young, unemployed, and uneducated men. The Chinese official blames an influx of drugs from the nations of the so-called "Golden Triangle" area of Southeast Asia.
Yang Fengrui, deputy secretary general of China's National Narcotics Control Commission, says drug use continues to rise in China each year. He says the biggest problem lies with the growing amounts of heroin and chemical components for methamphetamines, which he says are coming largely from the "Golden Triangle" of Laos, Burma, and Thailand.
