Don't think China is drug-free; only that the laws are against them and heavy penalty if they were caught. So the druggers are hiding from the laws. According to Lancet research, there are about 1.7% of young people in China use illicit drugs such as heroin. 59-65% are alcohol addicted.
Quote:Among 2555 retrieved articles, 59 articles involving 531 842 adolescents were eligible for the meta-analysis. The findings showed that, during their lifetime, the proportion of young people ever having used any of these substances was 59·65% (95% CI 53·37–65·74) for alcohol, 23·22% (20·33–26·11) for tobacco, 8·22% (7·14–9·30) for sedatives, 6·65% (3·93–9·37) for analgesics, 4·80% (3·75–5·84) for solvents, and 1·70% (1·13–2·26) for illicit drugs.
