Recently, a proposed list of the third batch of national "Fengqiao-style police stations" was released to the public. Can you talk about that in detail? In addition, can you talk about how the public security organs will carry forward the "Fengqiao experience," and how will they innovate and develop the "Fengqiao experience"? Thank you.

Qiu Baoli:

I will answer this question. The "Fengqiao model" was originally developed at the community level by public security organs. The report to the 20th CPC National Congress categorically stated that we should apply and further develop the "Fengqiao model" for promoting community-level governance in the new era. The Party Committee of the MPS has always taken the application and development of the "Fengqiao model" as a crucial task, organized police stations nationwide to be committed to combining concrete work with the mass line, adopted proactive and preventive policing, and made efforts to prevent and defuse various problems and risks, effectively maintaining social harmony and stability. We have mainly adopted three measures. 

Firstly, we have launched campaigns to build "Fengqiao-style police stations" on a regular basis. Since 2019, the MPS has nominated a batch of 100 "Fengqiao-style police stations" every two years. In November this year, the third batch of police stations will be selected and nominated. Currently, public security organs at ministerial and provincial levels have nominated 1,313 "Fengqiao-style police stations," which has yielded good results in the building of 1,000 demonstration police stations and making improvements to 10,000 police stations and has led police stations to work on and deliver solid progress in sorting out and diffusing problems and adding more substance to the mass line. About 6 million cases of social problems and disputes have been addressed annually, and the number of cases that developed into criminal cases from civil cases triggered by problems and disputes has fallen over four consecutive years.

Second, we have implemented the "Police Officers Visit Households" campaign in police stations nationwide, which involves visiting households, addressing people's concerns, resolving conflicts, and preventing risks. On average, we have visited over 52 million households of various types each year and handled more than 12 million requests for assistance from the public.

Third, we have organized the "Five Prevention" community outreach campaign, which involves in-depth engagement with the local communities to promote awareness and the prevention of theft, fraud, drug abuse, conflicts and disputes, and public security incidents. As a result, the number of criminal and public security cases nationwide reported to the 110 emergency hotline has been declining, achieving a favorable situation of joint efforts between the police and the public in creating a safe and secure environment.

Next, the national public security organs will apply and develop the "Fengqiao model" in the new era, further deepen the establishment of "Fengqiao-style police stations," and promote governance with laws and regulations, systematic and comprehensive measures, and an emphasis on addressing problems at the source. We will strive to resolve conflicts and disputes in a timely manner at the community level and nip them in the bud, actively advancing social harmony and stability. Thank you.

Drug safety is closely related to the daily lives and physical health of the general public, and it has consistently received extensive attention from various sectors of society. Could you please share the achievements made and measures taken by the public security organs in combating drug-related crimes?

Li Jiantao:

I will brief this question. Since the 20th CPC National Congress, the public security organs have focused on combating prominent drug-related criminal activities that have been strongly reported by the general public. We have taken decisive actions, striking hard and swiftly, and maintained a high-pressure crackdown to effectively ensure the safety of medication for the people.

First, target actions have been taken. We have extensively organized the "Kunlun" targeted action to strike drug-related crimes. In response to prominent issues concerning drug safety, we have deployed targeted actions in accordance with the law to vigorously crack down on the manufacturing and selling of counterfeit and substandard drugs. In collaboration with 11 departments, including the State Administration for Market Regulation, we have taken targeted actions to address outstanding issues in the medical aesthetics industry. From January to September this year, public security organs have successfully solved over 4,600 drug-related criminal cases.

Second, efforts have been made to strengthen breakthroughs in solving cases. In 2023, the MPS has listed 55 major drug-related cases for special supervision. In collaboration with the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the National Medical Products Administration, 10 cases have been jointly listed for special supervision. We have adopted a comprehensive approach to combat cross-regional drug-related crimes online, targeting "all aspects, all elements, and the entire chain" with a resolute determination to dismantle criminal networks. Localities have successfully solved a series of major cases, including the Yibin, Sichuan, "Feb. 25" case, involving the production and sale of counterfeit traditional Chinese medicine containing chemical powder, the Guangdong "Mar. 15" case involving the production and sale of counterfeit Angong Niuhuang Wan, the Chongqing case involving the production and sale of counterfeit botulinum toxin by Sheng and others, and the Shanghai "Aug. 29" case involving the illegal production and sale of counterfeit anticancer drugs.

Third, the interdepartmental collaboration has been deepened. We have cooperated with the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate to revise and issue the "Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases Endangering Drug Safety." This has provided a more powerful legal weapon for the strict enforcement of drug-related crimes. In conjunction with the National Medical Products Administration and other departments, we have formulated and implemented the "Administrative Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Coordination Measures for Drug-related Offenses," further improving the coordination mechanism between administrative and criminal enforcement in the field of pharmaceuticals and enhancing joint efforts to combat and rectify such offenses.

With the continuous intensification of crackdown and governance, the overall situation of drug safety in our country has improved and remained stable. However, influenced by various factors, there are still numerous negative factors that breed drug-related crimes, especially the prominent issues of illegal production and sale of drugs in black workshops and dens. In the next step, the public security organs will always adhere to the principle of putting the people first, focus on prominent issues in the pharmaceutical field, and carry out targeted actions to crack down and rectify in-depth in collaboration with relevant departments, ensuring drug safety. At the same time, efforts will be made to increase the exposure of cases and promote legal awareness, guiding the general public to enhance their ability to identify counterfeit and substandard drugs. Here, I would like to once again urge everyone to obtain drugs through legal and compliant channels. Do not easily believe in so-called "miracle drugs" or "elixirs" that claim to cure all diseases but lack proper registration and approval. If you discover any clues of illegal activities, please actively report them to public security organs and relevant departments. Thank you!
