Yunnan city honored for fighting narcotics trafficking

An anti-drug detachment in Lincang, Yunnan province, has been honored by the National Narcotics Control Commission as one of the 100 organizations to make prominent contributions to drug control in China since 2015.

As a border city, Lincang is challenged by the influx of drugs from the Golden Triangle－Thailand, Laos and Myanmar－that pass through the city into China.

Cutting off the drug trafficking channel here is very important for the whole country, said Zhao Yadong, head of the anti-drug detachment of Lincang's public security bureau.
