Why sealing drug use records triggers widespread concern in China

from Chat Lounge

China's new rule to seal public-security violation records is being hailed as historic, yet nothing has stirred more controversy than the plan to seal drug-use records. Why this issue? How justified are the public's concerns? And with millions speaking out online, could public pressure reshape how the rule is ultimately implemented? Or, if not, what can be done to reduce potential risks? Host TU Yun joins Mr. Bai Xianyue, Partner of Grandall Law Firm Tianjn Office, Professor Josef Mahoney, Professor of Politics and International Relations, East China Normal University and Professor Qu Qiang, Fellow, Belt and Road Research Center, Minzu University of China for a chat.
