"The quickest way to make a fortune is to deal drugs - to sell drugs here", Professor Wu Jiang tell us. This report takes us right into the heart of the illicit tearaway trade on the Myanmar border, where drugs flow through in huge quantities.

In the super-cities like Shanghai, unlike previous generations China s partying young are driving a booming market in so-called recreational drugs. It has become, "fun and fashionable to take drugs". One credible report estimates the number of registered drug addicts has grown from 70,000 in 1990 to nearly 2 million a year ago. The number of regular drug users may be as high as 12 million.
