    Get unprecedented access to China's drug cops at a key checkpoint near the Myanmar/China border where they're in full flight. Pulling over cars and buses targeting suspicious characters and unlikely drug mules alike.
    On one tour bus that's just crossed in from what we used to call Burma, the team clambers aboard checking bags, compartments and asking rapid-fire questions. Soon a woman with a young child emerges with the officers. She's carrying a plastic shopping bag containing a handful of condoms filled with Ice -- the super-charged methamphetamine that's infiltrating China's party scene and that's being shipped out to more lucrative international destinations like Australia.

    Been in china for a few years, drugs is no joke. My friend has just been released from jail after 1 year for the equivalent of 5 joints. Not allowed any family or friends visiting, It wasn't easy for him, others involved are still doing time, one facing 7-10 because of two bags, one for him one for his friend (distribution). If you come here....drop that lifestyle, and start drinking tea.

    I have been to the border when visiting Yunnan. The patrol was very serious and experienced. They could spot the suspicions by only looking at you and talking to you in 2 mins. China is one of the few countries that are extremely tough on drugs and punish with death penalty. This is because China once suffered from the massive drug use in history and learned hard from lessons

    My cousin-in-law once bought an ID from someone. after he got a hotel room with that ID. Two police officers showed up asking him to do a piss test. He was confused and asked why. It turned out to be that the original owner of the ID had a drug conviction in the past. So long story short, if you are ever caught doing drugs in China, your ID will be flagged forever Everytime you check in at a hotel, or an internet cafe(which is very common seen in China) police might show up asking you to do a piss test.

    The thing to remember is that China knows all about what can happen if a drug takes hold of a country.
    The opium war and the subsequent opium addiction that scarred Chinese society for a century, (until the 1949 communist civil war victory), weakened the Chinese government and erroded the sovereign integrity of the nation and cost millions of people the chance to lead a healthy and prosperous life.
    So if anyone wonders why the Chinese authorities take such a hardline on drug dealers and manufacturers and smugglers, they only have to read about the Opium Wars to understand why.

    @joli4714 Před 8 lety +113

    To all those people who complain about death penalty for drug dealing, you guys need to understand something. The beginning of the execution was because there were way, way too many abusers back then.
    Ever since the opium war when Britain forcefully sold drugs to China, China had trouble keeping down the uses. Once the war was over, we needed to recover, and it is really difficult to get them to quit and stop the crimes they were committing. Same applies for Thailand as well. If it wasn't for the death penalty, drugs would be a huge epidemic in China.
    Death penalty is unfair and cruel, but the Chinese government is actually making changes to a lot of the laws and penalties. They stated that they were going to slowly modify the laws and eventually stop the death penalties.

To be completely honest, I don't mind how the Chinese society is today, I really love China, and my family are happy in China. I don't understand why the Westerners choose to attack China like this.

    • @ZhangtheGreat
      @ZhangtheGreat Před 8 lety +17

      +Fu Baozi Westerners criticize first and ask questions later. It's how they exercise their superiority complex. Nothing China does will ever satisfy Western critics. Case and point:
      - When China was communist, it was attacked for being too strict. Now that it's capitalist, it's attacked for being greedy.
      - When China's population exploded, it was attacked for not keeping its numbers under control. After the One-Child (now Two-Children) Policy, it was attacked for restricting individual choice.
      - When China was poor and backwards, it was looked down upon. Now that it's developed/developing, it's accused of stealing ideas.
      - When Chinese emigrated to different parts of the world, they were accused of taking jobs. Now that more of them are staying in China to work, they're still accused of taking jobs.
      - When China was weak, it was picked on for being weak. Now that it's strong, it's viewed as an aggressor and a threat to global stability.
      This is why China has basically given the West the middle finger whenever it faces criticism; the game has gotten old, and Chinese leaders have basically declared that they'd do things their way whether the West likes it or not.

    • @katicus7987
      @katicus7987 Před 8 lety +1

      You can't win or lose on the death penalty argument. It's like a comment religion war, people can argue forever and no side will agree or disagree but see some good and some bad points. Even in the west that have the death penalty some love it and some say its wrong. They want people to understand all life is special but at the same time they don't want to pay taxes for criminals that are going to spend 50 years behind bars just sitting there doing nothing but eating food and taking up space and others will argue some people like serial killers can never be released back into society so just kill them off to save money and space then another person will tell you to put them on hard labor so they can work for the people picking up trash and stamping license plates or whatever until they die while prisons now can't even hold all the people that are entering. A death penalty for drugs is a bit harsh but it is another country and if it helps slow down the drug trade well whatever works, people doing it know what's going to happen if they get caught so it's their choice. If I was poor and had no money I would do what I gotta do to survive and no matter where you go you'll never stop drugs that's like the police saying they will stop and catch all gangs, it will never happen without or with a death penalty.

      Wow, all the comments up there makes me feel pretty warm on the inside. Finally there are people who take the time to understand both sides of the story :) Death penalty, it really depends on the ideology. But to be honest, I think it's reasonable. If a person decides to harm others, or even take multiple lives, then they should get the punishment they deserve. (Plus caring for all the prisoners would be a bit expensive)

    $1,000,000 for 1.34 kg of methamphetamine in Australia when this documentary was filmed. That's nuts man. When I was an addict it was $10 for 0.1 grams and price always goes down the more you buy. Now I know for documentaries they tend to claim the value of nickle and dime prices but that's still nearly 100x the price. Just an observation I had.

    The war on drugs is a pointless war with poor results. No matter how many dealers they lock up, it will never reduce the high demand for narcotics which is highly profitable bringing in fast cash. There will always be someone willing to supply the demand especially with the potential for big profits. You lock up 10 traffickers, 100 are eager to replace them for that huge reward of money.

    • @ZhangtheGreat
      @ZhangtheGreat Před 9 lety +7

      Buster Jones You are correct. However, that doesn't mean law enforcement shouldn't be trying its hardest to crack down. Drugs can cripple an entire society if nothing is done (see: opium on China in the 19th Century). While we'll never be able to eradicate drug use, at the very least, the illegality and tough enforcement will be enough to prevent plenty of people from traveling down the drug path (selling, buying, and/or using).

      America started the war on drugs and used its diplomatic power to push it onto the whole world - a lot of countries actually didn't want to make drugs illegal at first - the main people who opposed war on drugs at the beginning were DOCTORS because they realised making drugs illegal will cause way more health problems than if they were pure and of known quality/strength. for example all doctors agree that pure pharmaceutical opioids/heroinn can bbs given indefinitely and cause no toxic damage to the body at all. it is dirty bacteria infested street heroin that ppl inject into their body that causes all the harm- when its pure and given at the hospital for example it does no harm at all! making drugs illegal makes the problem WAY worse. the uk prescribed pure pharmaceutical heroin for decades and under this system they managed to keep the number of addicts at a stable level of only 400 heroin addicts in the whole country - and during this time there was no association between heroin use and crime/health issues at all - and zero DEATHS. It was only when the US put pressure on the UK to stop that it was phased out in the 1970s and the number of addicts shot up from a few hundred to literally hundreds of thousands - they handed drugs to the black market and armed cartels. Switserland has recently used this method of prescribing heroin to addicts and has managed to completely eliminate its massive opioids problem - crime has gone down massively as well as the cost to the tax payer of stuff like police, prisons, criminal justice costs , health costs ect simply prescribing pure diamorphine is way way cheaper than this so saves a huge amount of money and the tax money can go on more important stuff like violent crime/terrorism.

As he walked away free, he heard the gunshots as the two women were executed.

Tibetans was part of the congress that setup the constitution of the Republic of China(1911-1949)it was also a direct part of the Qing dynasty Empire with a 3000 men strong Imperial garrison stationed there alltheway till the revolution that brought down the Qing dynasty. But obviously western coldwar era propaganda that portrait tibet as a closed and independent religious and peaceful nation are brainwashed deep into the minds of many around that world, the fact is that the british supported tibetan independence because in thatvway they could draw the macmahon borderline without dealing with China(cause of the 1963indo-chinese borderwar), and wanted tibet for thier own in the so called great game, but China NEVER recognized that, so by dejure, tibet has never been independent though after the collapse og Qing dynasty some of the elites(not all) tried to.
