China still faces a grave situation in drug control, Xi wrote, adding that drug taking, trafficking, planting and manufacturing should all be targeted amid comprehensive measures to control drugs.
Premier Li Keqiang, who wrote an instruction to drug control authorities recently, also underscored the importance of controlling drugs, which he labeled a "common enemy to humanity."
