| Summary: | Drug manufacturing in Boshe was "organized by families, managed as an industry and protected by the locals," Guo Shaobo, the deputy chief of the Guangdong Public Security Bureau, said at the news conference. Eighteen of Guangdong's most wanted drug criminals had been living in the village, he said. Cai Dongjia, the head of the Communist Party in Boshe, previously manufactured methamphetamine before becoming a protector of the local drug rings, the police said. Mr. Cai was the first to be captured in the raid. Altogether, 14 party officials and local police officers were arrested for shielding the drug labs. Methamphetamine manufacturing had become so rampant in Boshe that the village's Communist Party committee erected a sign at the garbage collection site that reads "discarding of meth lab garbage is forbidden," according to The Legal Daily, a state-run newspaper. |
