A national campaign has been launched on the Chinese mainland to prevent
so-called "new types of drugs" from harming people who visit places of
entertainment.

measures will be stressed in the campaign, which runs from September to
November, to contain the rapid spreading of the new drugs, said a statement by
the Ministry of Public Security.
The ministry is one of six departments under the central government that have
jointly launched the campaign.
In recent years, the problem of the selling and usage of these new types of
drugs, such as "ice" and ecstasy, is increasingly evident in many entertainment
venues, said the statement.
Many criminals sell drugs to customers, especially youngsters, in places like
disco halls, bars, and other singing and dancing venues.
Moreover, many owners of these places try to shelter people who sell or take
drugs for the sake of profit, added the statement.
Widespread public education activities, including general information
publicity and training for entertainment venue staff members, will be carried
out to raise people's awareness of drugs.
Culture management and public security authorities at various levels will
gradually develop a system which can record the illegal activities going on in
entertainment venues, and give warnings to the operators.
