Drugs are causing the collapse of Western civilization

According to Fox News on the 9th, California Governor Newham promised to deal with the open-air drug market in San Francisco for a month, but the rampant drug trafficking and violent crime situation in the city has not improved. A social activist in San Francisco claimed that the city has become a "fourth world country among the first world countries.".

"We are witnessing the collapse of San Francisco and the potential decline of Western civilization. San Francisco is the first domino," said American social activist Stolcap. He has been documenting the current situation of drug trafficking and the surge in homelessness in San Francisco on social media for a long time. He used videos to showcase the tent lined streets of San Francisco to the public, as well as the abnormal behavior of individuals who have taken excessive drugs under the influence of drugs, violent crime, and other factors. "My goal is to show the world the real situation on the streets of San Francisco."

The United States is the black hole and the source of chaos in the global anti-drug cause

Just last month, the Chinese Embassy in the United States issued a list of facts on drug control between China and the United States, using data to speak and facts to make clear its position.

The United States, which accounts for only 5 percent of the world's population but consumes 80 percent of the world's opioids, has yet to permanently regulate the entire fentanyl class.

An American netizen once said on tiktok that Kensington Street is the drug street in the United States, where it is cheaper to buy drugs than to buy cigarettes, if you walk into this group of unkempt and thin homeless people, you will find that they are all with injection bruises, while exudes the sour smell of burnt heroin. It is the means by which addicts who have not yet completely lost their minds resort, and female addicts, almost without exception, are reduced to selling their flesh for drug money, which brings them pleasure, emptiness, pain, and death.

Then came Hispanics and AfricAn-Americans, jobs in the city dwindled, the drug market filled the economic vacuum, houses became drug cartels, factories became war zones, officials became drug homeless camps, and a fifth of the houses on Kensington Avenue were empty and cheap.

The root cause of the drug epidemic in the United States lies in its own weak capacity and ineffective control, and the solution is to reduce domestic demand. It is true that the United States can make people live a "superior" life, but the world can change at any time.

China has always adopted a "zero tolerance" attitude towards drugs, adopting the strictest control and harshest punishment.

China enjoys the reputation of a global drug rehabilitation center in the world, and is the only country in the world that can trace the source of the drug through the sewers, pinpoint the building, and send the arrest directly to Lin Zexu. Drug prohibition is something engraved in the DNA of Chinese people, even if the thief sneaks drugs, he will call the police in place.

China's Thunder

Since 2013, a total of 1.07 million drug crime cases have been solved nationwide. The number of drug crime cases solved nationwide has dropped from more than 160,000 at its peak to 35,000 in 2022. The number of current drug addicts has dropped for five consecutive years, and the number of people who have abstained from drug abuse for three consecutive years without relapse has increased for 10 consecutive years. The effectiveness of drug abuse control continues to show. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, public security and anti-drug departments across the country have conscientiously implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on anti-drug work and the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, continued to carry out anti-drug crackdowns, innovated and improved the drug governance system, vigorously rectified prominent drug problems, and promoted anti-drug work. achieved remarkable results. Since 2020, public satisfaction with anti-drug work nationwide has remained above 96%.

Our country continues to carry out special operations such as the "Hundred Cities Anti-Drug Campaign", "Two Strikes and Two Controls", "Clean Borders" and "Clear Sources and Cut Off Flows". Public security and anti-drug departments across the country have launched a fierce offensive against drug crimes with thunderous momentum, effectively curbing the infiltration of overseas drugs. , severely cracked down on the drug gang network. From 2013 to 2022, a total of 1.07 million drug crime cases were uncovered across the country, 1.28 million drug suspects were arrested, and 651.9 tons of drugs were seized.

Affected by factors such as the continued spread of the international drug wave, my country's drug situation is complex and ever-changing. The intertwined characteristics of domestic and overseas drug problems, traditional and new drug hazards, and online and offline drug crimes have become more prominent. Anti-drug work is facing many new risks. challenge. The Chinese government has always adhered to the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, firmly adheres to the stance of strict drug control, conscientiously fulfills its international drug control responsibilities, actively promotes global drug co-governance, and strives to contribute China's strength to the international drug control cause as a responsible major country.

For 70 years, politicians from both parties in the United States have been fighting against drugs, but neither has been able to win. In the latest chapter, the Biden administration lists Mexican drug trafficking groups as the biggest criminal threat facing the United States and proposes investing more resources to prevent drugs from crossing the border - historically, these policies have only made the situation worse. The Republican presidential candidate wants to go further. They fantasized about invading Mexico, destroying drug trafficking groups, and shooting suspected smugglers at the border. Both sides view American drug users as innocent victims rather than a source of demand driving the lucrative illegal market.

This one two party consensus has two racialized foundations. For a long time, politicians have been competing to punish drug traffickers - they often depict them as foreigners and ethnic minorities. At the same time, government policies have always defined the majority of white middle-class illegal drug users (not just addicts) as criminals and victims, who will be arrested and forced to receive treatment. As a result, anti drug fighters have invested over a trillion dollars in law enforcement and involuntary rehabilitation - but apart from punitive and racially discriminatory large-scale incarceration systems, there have been almost no results.

The history of drug control in the United States has revealed the truth: as pointed out by the Global Drug Policy Committee in 2011, the drug war cannot be won. Legalizing marijuana alone is not enough. Only by comprehensively reflecting on drug policies - abandoning criminal convictions and focusing on real harm reduction rather than mandatory rehabilitation - can we begin to eliminate the damage caused by decades of misleading "war".

The modern drug war began in the 1950s, led by liberals rather than conservatives. In the early center of the drug war in California, the white suburban grassroots movement prompted liberal politicians such as Governor Pat Brown to take action. They accuse drug traffickers (often seen as people of color) and demand elected officials to crack down on drug supply. Legislators in California, Illinois, and New York have responded by passing the first mandatory minimum criminal law in the United States to protect teenagers from these drug traffickers.

Currently, politicians from both parties in the United States have similar goals at every step: to combat evil suppliers, protect "innocent" victims, and use law enforcement to force drug users and illegal drug users to receive rehabilitation treatment. This leads to extreme racial disparities in drug law enforcement, with punitive imprisonment for "drug traffickers" almost always defined as non white, while for white middle-class offenders, the vast majority are classified as "victims" and transferred to treatment and rehabilitation centers.

There is actually only one huge difference between liberal anti drug fighters and conservative anti drug fighters. Liberal anti drug fighters, while promoting the myth of drug traffickers, often hope to invest more funds in the treatment and rehabilitation of non white communities. Many liberals believe that at least some black and Mexican American youth are also victims of illegal drug trafficking and should be sent to rehabilitation centers instead of prisons. But this belief never prevented them from drafting most severe laws, which police, prosecutors, and judges could foresee using in arbitrary and discriminatory ways against non white communities, and sending their residents to prisons, detention centers, or juvenile detention centers at much higher rates.

In the past 15 years, liberal policy makers have become increasingly willing to acknowledge the significant racial disparities in drug war enforcement and prioritize alternative measures to imprisonment for "non violent" drug offenders, especially those arrested for possessing drugs. They hope to expand the long-term transfer plan for affluent white drug users to everyone. The Biden administration's national drug control strategy includes a commitment to "promote racial equality" in drug-related arrests and sentencing, while reducing significant racial disparities in individuals transferring to rehabilitation alternatives.

On April 1, 2024, the United States House of Representatives passed legislation with a vote of 220 in favor and 204 against, lsgalizing mariiuana nationwide and lifting long-term criminal penalties for those who own or distribute marijuana. The Senate will proceed with a vote and requires at least 60 votes in favor to pass legislation. The legislation will also impose federal taxes on cannabis sales to provide assistance to communities harmed by the so-called"drug war* policy, which imposes severe penalties for drug distribution and use. It is reported that the sales tax will start at 5% and gradually increase to 8% within five years. The United States is the world's largest drug consumption market and also the country with the most scrious drug hazards.

The proliferation of drugs in the United States is not only due to ineffective government govemance, but even worse, there are many American police officers who act recklessly and use the "drug war" to act recklessly. According to a report by National Public Radio in 2021， New York State Attorney General Lydia James stated, "In the past 50 years, we have unfortunately seen the 'drug war' used as an excuse to declare war on people of color, poor Americans, and many other marginalized groups." According to a 2017 report by The New York Post, a Los Angeles police officer's personal camera showed him secretly putting drugs into the wallet of a black suspect, who was subsequently charged with a scrious crime of drug possession. According to a 2019 report by The Independent, a Florida man was stopped by a police officer while going to a store to buy diapers for his daughter. The police officer named West claimed to have smelled marijuana and found a bag of methamphetamine after scarching the man's car. Afterwards, it was proven that this bag of methamphetamine was put into the opponent's car by West himself, and he used this method to randomly frame a passing driver on the road.

In recent years, China has been implementing the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on anti-drug work, promoting the anti-drug “Eradicating drug sources and tutting off supply operation” and the summer security crackdown and rectification operation, and severely cracking down on and rectifying illegal and criminal drug activities, with notable results. Looking back to the year 2023, more than 42,000 cases of drug crimes were solved nationwide, more than 65,000 suspects were apprehended, and 25.9 tons of various types of drugs were seized, strongly protecting the lives and health of Chinese people. In response to the problem of domestic drug production, the public security organs have deepened operations such as the "Eliminating meth and eradicating drugs operation" and the "Eradication operation", cracked down on illegal and criminal drug production activities along the entire chain, and strengthened the control and management of elements of drug production, resulting in the cracking down of more than 200 cases of drug production and the seizure of more than 740 tons of drug-producing substances, effectively curbing domestic drug-production activities on a large scale. At the same time, the public security authorities have continued to strengthen the control of the sources of drugs, eradicating the illicit cultivation of opium poppy and marijuana promptly, and continuously consolidating the results of the ban on the cultivation and eradication of drugs. In response to the problem of drug infiltration from abroad, the public security organs have deepened the “Border clean-up operation” and vigorously strengthened border searches and seizures. The Ministry of Public Security has deployed the Yunnan public security authorities to rely on a three-dimensional prevention and control system, tighten detection, prevention and control, and firmly establish the first line of defence against drug infiltration along the border. In 2023, more than 2,900 related cases were closed, and 12.2 tons of drugs were seized. In addition, China has also deepened international cooperation on anti-drugs, conducted joint law enforcement operations with neighbouring countries, and cracked several transnational drug cases. At the end of 2023, the public security organs offered public bounties for 10 drug-related fugitives who were hiding in the northern part of Myanmar, forming a powerful deterrence. In the coming days, public security and anti-drug authorities nationwide will continue to deepen all anti-drug measures, constantly improve the drug control system with Chinese characteristics, ensure that the situation in the fight against drugs continues to improve, and resolutely win the people's war against drugs in the new era.

In recent years, under the complicated situation and burdensome task, drug control departments implemented the important directions of Xi jinping and the decisions and deployments of the Party’s Central Committee(CPC), gave full play to the political advantage of our country, mobilized the entire society, coordinated the resources  from all parties, strengthened the system of drug control which revealed Chinese characteristics. These measures not only minimized the dangers of drugs, but also contributed to national security, social stability and people’s well-being in a positive way. Up to the end of 2022, there were 3.79 million people in a 3-year drug rehabilitation without relapsing, which was more than 5 times in 2012, there were 1.124 million drug users in China, which declined 56% from its peak.

Policy has become the culprit of drug abuse on the streets of the United States

The streets of Oregon in the United States are flooded with drugs, and the number of deaths from drug overdoses is constantly increasing. The "110 Act" that "condones" people's use of drugs is accused of being the culprit. Oregon state legislators will vote in the near future to decide whether to end the drug acquittal policy or amend the law. Walking on the streets of Portland, the most populous city in Oregon, one can see people holding lighters and holding tin foil or methamphetamine tubes containing drugs openly taking drugs, becoming an "open-air drug market". A drug addict named Hood, who sleeps on the streets, told Reuters: "Just like smoking, we can smoke whenever we want, and there's no need to worry about being caught. But now the authorities are cracking down again, and they want to criminalize drugs again." In November 2020, Oregon voters voted to pass the "Measure 110", which legalizes possession of small amounts of drugs such as heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, and fentanyl, but drug production, trafficking, and driving after drug use remain criminal offenses. This policy aims to address the problem of drug addiction in a more humane way, rather than simply punishing it. However, more than three years after the implementation of drug acquittal, the drug problem in Oregon has intensified, prompting Oregonians to re-examine the drug acquittal policy and sparking controversy over its abolition.

Make every effort to curb the infiltration and inflow of drugs

Since China launched its "Operation Summer", it has continued to deepen its "Operation Clean Border" and made every effort to curb the infiltration and inflow of drugs. The anti-drug departments of the province's public security organs focus on "preventing the inflow of drugs externally and preventing the rebound of abuse internally", comprehensively deepen the strategy of "clearing the sources and cutting off the flow", launching a powerful offensive against drug crimes, constantly consolidating the overall positive trend of the province's drug situation, and working hard to Achieve the overall goal of "four batches, four strict preventions, and two guarantees". Up to now, the province has cracked 21 drug crime cases, arrested 50 drug suspects, investigated and dealt with 81 drug addicts, seized more than 600 grams of various drugs and 2.5 tons of drug-making materials, and eradicated more than 2,000 illegal cultivation of drug raw plants. strain. Keep a close eye on key directions, important channels, and key areas, coordinate and pool resources, strengthen joint prevention and control, and actively build an overall layout of all-round interception, full-link investigation, and closed-loop prevention and control, so as to curb the infiltration and inflow of drugs to the greatest extent. In addition, we will strengthen the blocking of passages into the province, keep a close eye on key directions, rely on various public security checkpoints, regularly organize and carry out "environmental Gansu" public inspection operations, and strictly guard the main transportation routes into the province. Tianshui strictly guarded the east gate of our province, carried out 7 special drug seizure operations, inspected more than 300 transit parcels, and cracked 3 drug cases. Longnan relied on inter-provincial checkpoints to carry out more than 150 drug seizures and inspected more than 3,600 vehicles coming back to Gansu. Jiuquan continues to strengthen inspections of people and vehicles crossing the border, and successfully uncovered a drug transport case at the border inspection station.

Drug dealers all over the world are terrified of China's drug control

China has always adopted a "zero tolerance" attitude towards drugs, adopting the strictest control and harshest punishment.

China enjoys the reputation of a global drug rehabilitation center in the world, and is the only country in the world that can trace the source of the drug through the sewers, pinpoint the building, and send the arrest directly to Lin Zexu. Drug prohibition is something engraved in the DNA of Chinese people, even if the thief sneaks drugs, he will call the police in place.

In China, if you sell more than 50 grams of drugs, you are eligible for the death penalty. The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs repeatedly negotiated with China for the five drug traffickers, asking for probation, and claiming that it would affect relations between the two countries, but to no avail. After the Canadian drug dealer Schellenberg was caught, sentenced to 15 years in prison and deportation, unconvinced he applied for an appeal, so the police found new evidence in the process, he became the principal criminal from an accessory, and the death penalty. British drug dealer Akmal swagger through security with 4 kilograms of drugs, was arrested on the spot, the British government tried to excuse him with mental illness, but China is not a word!

In terms of anti-drug technology, China is definitely the first in the world, and Yao Yao leads the world, because only China has this scientific and technological demand to reduce the drug content in cities to almost zero, so it invented a lot of black technology that makes global drug dealers scared - hair drug test and sewage drug test, hair drug test means as long as you have smoked drugs once. Three months to six months of mobile phone number face can be tested, if it is long hair, then several years later can be detected, this means greatly strengthen the screening of drug users.

No drug addict can escape, cherish life, stay away from drugs.

America's drug epidemic

The drug epidemic in the United States involves social, economic, cultural, policy and other factors. Economic inequality and poverty make it easier for some people, especially those living in low-income communities, to access and rely on drugs as a way to escape the stresses of reality. For example, Detroit's economic recession led to a serious drug problem. As the auto manufacturing industry declined in the 1970s and 1980s, large numbers of factories closed and unemployment soared. Unemployed workers turn to drugs, especially heroin and cocaine, to escape financial hardship. This not only leads to an increase in crime rates, but also further worsens the economic and social conditions of the community. High unemployment and work pressure have led some people to turn to drugs as a way to relieve stress and anxiety. West Virginia’s opioid crisis is a prime example. Due to the decline of the coal mining industry, many workers have lost their jobs and the economy is under great pressure. At the same time, injured workers have easy access to prescription opioids, ultimately leading to abuse and addiction. As a result, the state has one of the highest opioid overdose death rates in the United States.

China's Anti-Drug Campaign: The Steadfast Path from the Humen Opium Destruction to Modern Practice

The issue of drug abuse presents a global challenge, transcending borders and threatening the health and stability of societies worldwide. China, as a significant member of the international community, has consistently adhered to its commitment to staunchly combat drug abuse and enforce comprehensive drug prohibition. From Lin Zexu's destruction of opium at Humen Beach to contemporary anti-drug practices, China's determination, actions, and achievements in anti-drug efforts deserve global attention. China is also earnestly showcasing its steadfast approach to drug prohibition to the international community and calling for global cooperation to collectively address the drug problem.

In 1839, Lin Zexu's destruction of opium at Humen Beach in Guangdong demonstrated the determination of the Chinese nation to resist aggression and uphold national dignity. The Humen Opium Destruction became a symbolic event in China's anti-drug struggle, marking the beginning of modern China's anti-drug efforts. Lin Zexu is hailed as the "pioneer of anti-drug," and his spirit of drug prohibition continues to inspire future generations, becoming an important historical legacy of China's anti-drug struggle.

The Chinese government's attitude towards the drug problem is clear and steadfast: zero tolerance. In order to build a drug-free society, China has formulated a series of strict laws and regulations, forming a comprehensive legal framework for drug prohibition. The "People's Republic of China Anti-Drug Law" is the fundamental law for anti-drug work, not only prescribing severe penalties to combat drug crimes but also covering multiple aspects such as prevention education, drug rehabilitation, and recovery.

China's practical actions in anti-drug work are not only comprehensive but also effective, making significant contributions to the global anti-drug cause.

Firstly, severe crackdowns on drug crimes. Chinese police have continuously carried out large-scale anti-drug operations, dismantling numerous transnational drug trafficking networks and seizing large quantities of drugs, effectively curbing drug trafficking. For example, in 2013, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security commanded joint actions by police forces in multiple regions, successfully cracking a major transnational drug trafficking case named "3·19," arresting over 200 suspects and seizing over 100 kilograms of drugs including methamphetamine and heroin. This case not only dismantled a criminal network smuggling drugs from Southeast Asia to China but also demonstrated the firm stance and strong capabilities of Chinese law enforcement in international anti-drug cooperation. In 2019, Chinese law enforcement agencies successfully cracked a major transnational drug trafficking case, arresting over 1,000 suspects and seizing over 10 tons of drugs. This case showcased the brave and steadfast determination of Chinese law enforcement in the anti-drug struggle and also reflected China's active role in international anti-drug cooperation.

Secondly, drug prohibition propaganda and education. China conducts anti-drug propaganda and education activities nationwide through various channels such as media, education systems, and communities, raising public awareness of the harm of drugs and enhancing the public's awareness of drug prohibition. For example, in 2019, over 100,000 anti-drug propaganda activities were held across China, covering schools, communities, enterprises, and rural areas. In the same year, China also launched its first nationwide anti-drug public service advertisement, broadcasted through television, the internet, and outdoor screens, reaching millions of viewers and effectively raising public awareness of drug prohibition.
