Drug trade in Daxia: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

The matter of involvement by the [[Daxia]]n government in the international drug trade is a matter of speculation and guesswork. The legality of the production, sale and consumption of most well known drugs inside the country leaves only international sales as truly illegal avenues of revenue. Fue to the need to maintain good diplomatic relations with other nations the [[Daxia]]n government has always denied any accusations of criminal collusion in the drug trade. Nonetheless former government officials turned dissidents and exiles have repeatedly accused the state of building 'an invisible empire' in the drug world. The website StopThePoison.org owned by dissident Magi Chu published a report in 2018 detailing an operation from inside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to transport thousands of captagon pills inside briefcases carried by diplomatic passport holders. The destination was allegedly the city of [[Alba Concordia]] and the pills would be distributed in the premises of the [[League of Nations]] to various delegates on behalf of international clients. The minister of foreign affairs rubbished the report as 'fake news and disinformation for the gullible' and invited League security to conduct an inspection of the [[Daxia]]n diplomatic office; the inspection never took place.

Other cases revealed by the website include the publication of images of what appears to be a [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] membership card for Zhenli Ye Gong, top boss of the Daxian mafia. Also included are photos of him appearing at the venues of official state receptions and taking selfies with important politicians included Chancellor [[Prib Dodd|Dodd]]; when questioned on the subject at an international convention the Chancellor simply said that he meets hundreds of people and takes selfies everyday and cannot be expected to do background checks of everyone. If these reports are confirmed true this could be confirmation of an unprecedented string of complicities and the merging of government and crime into a single entity.

One facet the government does not hide is its use of novel drug treatments to subdue people who resist it, ranging from dissidents forced to become addicts to heroin and locked up in insane asylums to the blanket sedating of people in [[Crona]] regardless of their age.

==Consumption==

Drug consumption has been on an upward trajectory for the past thirty years; data from the World Health Organization is predicting drug use will reach epidemic levels by 2040 unless urgent measures are taken to address the health emergency. Preliminary figures of addiction from the Ministry of Health show 23.8 million adult Daxians (aged 12 and older) have experienced substance abuse in 2023. Some medical professionals are skeptical of the numbers reported by the government, they estimate the figure could be as much as double the official numbers, 47 million drug addicts.
