In China, drug trafficking is a serious offense. According to Chinese law, trafficking of “50 grams or more of drugs is punishable by long prison terms.” The smuggling of larger amounts receives life sentences or death.
As of October 21, 2010, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in Manila, there are more than 70 Filipinos in China who were convicted and sentenced to death for drug trafficking. In recent years, China has also executed drug traffickers from Britain, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan.
China has always been a big brother figure in the East Asian region. Even now as China emerges as a significant power in the world stage, its neighbors must respect China’s methods and laws.
